5% of stealth bomber fleet lost

[Burnt Orange Bevo]

One of the B-2 stealth bombers crashed in Guam. With 20/21 bombers total, we've lost a $2 billion plane and 5% of our total stealth bomber fleet... bummer.

Pilots safe after stealth bomber crash

No lives lost is a good thing.

As much as it may suck right now, I rest assured that this is not that big a deal. We've got other greater things up our sleeve which we don't know about that are much more badass.

Maybe it landed safely but it's just too stealthy to find now.

Hopefully they figure out went wrong. I imagine they'll ground the rest of the fleet.

Maybe not. It could have sucked up a flock of birds or FOD and flamed out, or encountered wake turbulence from the other aircraft that had just taken off. Or maybe some other pilot error like incorrect control settings or whatever. Hopefully it won't affect the rest of the fleet.
