2 Billion Dollar Hiccup....

$1.2 billion down the drain. (Or as much as $2 billion, depending on who you ask.) Thank God the pilots are okay.
Some perspective: there were 21 B-2s. Now there are 20 -- a roughly 5-percent reduction in an instant.
In terms of airframes, that's the equivalent of 30 F-15s crashing at the same time, or 60 F-16s, or 6 F-22s.
In terms of money, that's equivalent to 20 F-15s, 24 F-16s or 10 F-22s.
Ouch.....
