[quote="Guest"]Video: Stealth Bomber Crashes By Noah Shachtman EmailJune 06, 2008 | 9:22:00 AM In February, a B-2 stealth bomber crashed in Guam. Now we know why. And we've got video of the scene. On takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base, the $1.4 billion plane abruptly "pitched up, rolled and yawed to the left before plunging to the ground," the AP describes. The reason why: "Water distorted preflight readings in three of the plane's 24 sensors, making the aircraft's control computer force the B-2 to pitch up on takeoff, resulting in a stall and subsequent crash." Luckily, "both pilots ejected safely just after the left wing made contact with the ground in the first crash since the maiden B-2 flights nearly 20 years ago." Check out the video, and you'll see just how fortunate the pilots were to make it out.
