We only (had) 21 of these, and they're $1.2 Billion a pop.  This is a major loss.  Thank God the Pilots ejected safely.

fuck the 1.2 billion, as long as the pilots are pretty much the same shape they were before they ejected, its all gravy.



Imagine the kind of story those dudes could share.  How many other people could say they still have a job when 1.2 billion dollars went up in flames under your watch.

Haha good point.  But we'll see when they determine the cause of the crash.  Pilot probably spilled his Starbucks over the controls.

It won't be all 1.2 billion down the drain. Surely they'll salvage something of value.


But yeah, that's a lot of money for shit to go wrong. With that kind of money you'd think it would auto fix itself. Or teleport itself back to a runway.

Pilots cost more than vehicles. Good that both survived.

I posted this question in the other B2 crashing thread

But the crew of the B2 is honestly worth more than 1.2 billion dollars?  They spend more money training them than on the B2 itself? 

That is fucking crazy.

Well what price can you put on life? Sooner or later you there has to be a number that you put on human life. If it's 5 trillion that money could be used to end poverty in the United states. Or cure Cancer. That said I wanted die for a B2. I might die for a billion that I knew would be used to benefit people though.

the money has already been spent.  that 1.2 billion most certainly circulated back into the economy.

Why do you say that? There has been no comment on any structural problems with the plane.

Planes that fly will sometimes crash. /end.


Although a .50 CAL RIFLE FROM A MILE OR TWO AWAY COULD DAMAGE ONE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT CRASH.

I'm saying that  a .50 calibre rifle  can do enough damage to have brought down the last shuttle last was destroyed. Tile damage caused it to burn.
Two Iranian commandos in a rubber raft could have done it. Same could be done to the B2. I'm not saying did...


COULD!!!!

My guess would be a technical error in the computing systems. Without those the plane actually becomes almost impossible to fly.
