Just the type of notoriety GA doesn't need.
Apparently the B-25 was taxiing to the runway when the nose gear collapsed, and there was an engine fire, probably the result of a combination prop strike/ fuel hose fitting getting jarred loose.
Funny that the article states "When the aircraft reached the end of the runway, the front landing [sic] collapsed, causing the right engine to catch fire."
Who knew that a gear collapse cause engine fires? Anyway, the (very brief) article:
