It appears that they were just about to leave the runway when the computer issued that warning. Did adequate runway remain to abort the takeoff ? Well, an adequate length remained for a comfortable crash-and-burn with twin ejections with major injuries. |

What you suggest that the pilots may have done as a result of that computer warning? Abort takeoff?

Hmm...that's a good question. Not being a pilot, I cannot say, but from the video, the firestreak of the crash looks extremely long, even for a 300,000lb+ aircraft. Also, it stated that IAS of 120mph was, in fact, much less, so conservatively, we could say 110mph. Not sure if that is slow enough, but again, that runway looks very long. -Le Chaud Lapin- |

You have no idea what you're talking about. You're certainly not qualified to comment on the decisions made by a B2 crew. Bertie Bertie and I suppose you are? Daveb |

----clip----
The $1.4 billion aircraft crashed just off the left side of the runway and exploded. It was the first-ever B-2 crash and followed 75,000 hours of loss-free service. Link and Grieve both suffered injuries during ejection, with Grieve suffering compression fractures to his spine. ************************************************** ******* I ejected in 1968 and got a compression fracture. Seat was one of the original seats first used in Jets. It used a 37 mm shell for energy and the 'g' forces peaked just after firing with the high 'G' causing the back damage. Current seats have longer application of thrust and peak 'G' on pilot is much less (smooth ride). I'm surprised one of the pilots got a compression fracture unless it was ground contact. Big John |
