A restored B-17 "Flying Fortress" bomber in Connecticut crashed last week, killing seven and injuring eight.

The passengers had a passion for history and relished the opportunity to fly aboard a World War II B-17G bomber.

Chief Master Sgt. James Traficante opened the hatch door, creating a passage to safety for other passengers of the flight.

The soldiers jumped from a C-130 aircraft and were blown off-course from their intended landing zone.

Authorities said there was a crew of three and 10 passengers aboard the B-17 at the time of the crash.

A local hospital reported receiving three patients who had been injured in the crash.
