Well, there goes a Billion Two down the drain. At least the pilots got out ok.
 

Always, Always, Always, No matter what...Confirm the amount of fuel in your tanks before you takeoff!

Better hope it wasn't crew error or they'll be flying mahogany bombers the rest of their careers!

Re: B-2 crashes in Guam

Wow, $1.2 billion! It sure would be interesting to know why that bird went down! Two losses at the same place in a very short space of time is also a strange coincidence. Weird.

Every 6 days the "war" in Iraq and Afganistan costs the US tax payers a Billion Dollars with soldiers getting killed and injured....

I read that there were twenty-one before this crash, so 20 would be left.

I think he was referring to the EA-6B that was also lost near Guam.
