BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Flags are being flown at half-staff at the state Capitol to honor the crew of a crashed B-52 bomber from Louisiana's Barksdale Air Force Base.

Governor Bobby Jindal also ordered flags flown at half-staff at all public buildings within 10-miles of the military base in northwest Louisiana.

The executive order was made Tuesday and remains in effect until sunset on August 11.

The bomber crashed Monday off the coast of Guam with all six members of the crew. Two bodies have been found.
