Summary

Description
English: The burned-out wreckage of Omega Aerial Refueling Services Flight 70 lying in a marsh off runway 21 at Naval Base Ventura County, California after it crashed on takeoff on 18 May 2011. The aircraft, a 707-300B modified as an aerial fuel tanker, experienced a separation of the #2 engine just after liftoff, which also struck and effectively disabled the #1 engine. When the takeoff was rejected, the aircraft ran off the runway and caught fire; the three flightcrew escaped without serious injury, but the aircraft was destroyed. In the left foreground, the two-stage fan from the aircraft's #4 engine lies partially submerged in shallow water, while part of the road of wooden pallets laid after the accident to permit firefighting crews to get closer to the wreck is visible in the bottom right corner of the image.
