The widow of an Alabama airman killed when a U.S. refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq last week says her family’s “world shattered” after learning he was aboard the doomed aircraft.
Major Alex Klinner, 33, left behind 7-month-old twins and a 2-year-old son when the KC-135 Stratotanker he and five other crew members were aboard Thursday to support the U.S. war against Iran crashed, his brother-in-law James Harrill told the Associated Press.
