B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber Crash Video & Technical Report

See the YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZB-iziY2Bw>.

Of all the videos on the internet, this one is the best edited and includes the technical report for why the crash happened.

Of course, the crash could have been prevented if the bomber maintenance were told of the problem with moisture affecting the sensors/transducers that provide information to the flight control computer and the need for calibration of the system.

Because the maintenance crew were not told, somebody saved some time and effort - but the aircraft was priced at $1.4 BILLION.
