Jul 15 2008Crashed B-2 Bomber Pics Get Me Misty Eyed
If there's one thing that's sad, it's the death of a pet. Followed distantly by $1.2 billion plane crashes. And, while we've already posted another picture and video of the crash, here are some nice close-ups of the now infamous wreck. Pretty sad isn't it? I think so. Of course, it's not as bad as when Hammy the Hamster went. There are very few things sadder than watching your dad cook and eat your only friend because you couldn't make it to base in a little league game.
Hit the jump for two more pictures, including one of a firetruck and another of two doctors crawling through a field with a steampunk computer. Just kidding, apparently they're deactivating remaining explosives in the ejector seat.

So, I'd hate to be the guy who gets the fireworks under his ass when the ejector seat is engaged.

I'd rather be the guy in the ejector seat with fireworks under his ass than the guy who's rode it to the ground.

John Travolta and Christian Slater have to stop fighting in the cockpit.

@ #5:
This is the first and only B2 to ever crash, this is just more images of it. The crash occured in February on Guam.

lets all remember that this is $0.1 billion short of what it would cost if they accidentally crashed the new yankee stadium.

Yeah, it's the only one, happened like #8 said, I was there when it happened on a deployment with the jet. We didn't get to go home until like the middle of March.
