At $1,200,000,000 per plane, this will be the most thoroughly investigated Air Force crash in history.
Also, unless something extraordinary happened, like a flock of birds being ingested into both engines causing the crash, this will ground the B-2 fleet.

That’s the MAJOR problem with these incredibly expensive and therefore limited weapons -
You lose one to an accident or an enemies’ “ golden BB “ and 5% of your ENTIRE fleet is wiped out.
To put this in perspective, it would be the equivalent of losing 37 B-52's or over 600 B-17s at one stroke. Can we afford to lose a war over 20 lucky shots ?

Imagine how many pilot less predators you could buy for $1,200,000,000.
