OK. Here's the real story as pieced together by the HTC crash reconstruction team. Cutter56 lifted a set of B-29's from a Field near the edge of the map. While waiting for them to climb he wandered off to fix himself some gumbo.
Unfortunately, the armadillo meat in his gumbo had gone a bit gamey and before he could get out of the bathroom his bombers flew off the edge of the map and banged into the side of the server, knocking it over. Oh the humanity.
