First-Ever B2 Crash

The first ever crash of a U.S. Air Force B-2 occurred this morning at 10:30 local time shortly after the stealthy bomber took off at Andersen AFB, Guam.

No munitions were onboard the B-2, which was manufactured by Northrop Grumman, at the time of the crash, according to the U.S. Air Force.

Both pilots ejected prior to the crash and survived. One has been released and the other is in stable condition at Guam Naval Hospital.
