Chi-chi · Accepted Answer

Many newspapers covered the crash of the B52 in Orlando. The two that I located with the most detailed coverage were The New York Times and the Washington Post, both printed on April 1, 1972. Both articles begin on page 1. Each article had photos but they were b & w and very grainy, Another source for information and pictures is YouTube. I found 3 entries. One was a segment on a news broadcast; again b&w photos. Of the 3 entries the most interesting and informative seemed to be the one entitled "B-52 Crash that Nearly Changed Orlando Forever." 
 I am sure there is much more information in other sources.
