Clip of the Week - June 9/08

This infuriates me to no end.

If you're just going to throw away 1.4 billion dollars, then why not just give it to me instead?

This footage was released this past week by the United States Defense Department and is from Anderson Air Force Bace in Guam. On February 23, 2008 a U.S. Air Force B-2 Stealth Bomber crashed during take-off. I believe the problem was related to moisture in the on board flight computer controls. It is the first time the Americans have lost a B2.

As you'll see the first bomber takes off without any problems but the second gets into trouble right after leaving the runway and eventually starts to drag the left wing along the ground. The two crew members eject just before it slams back into the ground and explodes.
