Video: Stealth Bomber Crashes
"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."
