The video in this post shows the first ever crash of a US Air Force (USAF) B-2 Spirit Stealth strategic bomber on February 23, 2008 at Andersen Air Force Base (AFB), Guam.

Two pilots from Whiteman AFB's 509th Bomb Wing ejected from the B-2 Spirit of Kansas, 89-0127.

According to an Air Combat Command (ACC) accident investigation report released on June 5, 2008, distorted data introduced by a B-2 Spirit's air data system skewed information entering the bomber's flight control computers, ultimately causing the aircraft to crash on takeoff.

During air data calibration, moisture in the aircraft's Port Transducer Units (PTUs) distorted the information in the bomber's air data system, causing the flight control computers to calculate an incorrect airspeed.
