"Tiger" wrote ... U.S. B-52 bomber crashes off Guam, 6 crew missing A U.S. B-52 bomber that was due to fly in a Liberation Day parade in the U.S. territory of Guam on Monday crashed into the Pacific Ocean soon after take-off, news reports and officials said. ---- In February, a B-2 stealth bomber, which costs around $1.2 billion, crashed at Andersen Air Force Base on Guam. The two pilots on board ejected safely. I have a probably trivial and ignorant question, the B-2 crash. Recently here (or on a similar ng) there was a picture of the B-2, showing it basicly intact, belly down, with what appeared to me to be the airport fire truck nearby it. Did it's crew eject after it was 'down'? Or, , , ? Nope, they shelled out shortly before impact. You can see a video of the crash at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZCp5h1gK2Q, apparently from a security camera at Anderson. -JTD |
