تحطمت طائرة قاذفة أميركية من طراز "بي2 ستيلث" في قاعدة أندرسون الجوية في غوام، ولكن قائديها نجوا من الموت بعد أن قفزا من الطائرة قبل تحطمها.
وحسبما أعلنت القوات الجوية الأميركية، فإن قائدي الطائرة نجحا في استخدام المقعد القاذف للخروج من الطائرة قبل تحطمها والهبوط بالمظلات وتم إسعافهما وهما في حالة جيدة.
وسيقوم طاقم تحقيق أميركي بتقصي أسباب سقوط المقاتلة التي تبلغ تكلفة الواحدة منها اكثر من 3.6 مليارات ريال اي مايعادل 1.2 مليار دولار.
ويتمركز هذا النوع من الطائرات التي لا يمكن كشفها بواسطة الرادار في قاعدة وايتمان الجوية في ميسوري، واستخدمت في مهام في أفغانستان والعراق وصربيا.
يأتي هذا الحادث بعد 11 يوما من تحطم طائرة أميركية أخرى من طراز "أف 6" على بعد نحو 30 كيلومترا شمال غرب غوام، حيث تمكن طاقمها المكون من أربعة أفراد من القفز والنجاة بحياتهم.

HAGATNA, Guam - A B-2 stealth bomber crashed at an air base on Guam but both pilots ejected safely and were in good condition, the Air Force said.
Thick black smoke could be seen billowing from the wreckage at Andersen Air Force Base, said Geanne Ward, a resident in the northern village of Yigo who was on the base visiting her husband.
Ward said she didn't witness the crash but noticed a rising plume of smoke behind the base's air control tower.
She said crowds began to gather as emergency vehicles arrived Saturday morning local time.
"Everybody was on their cell phones, and the first thing everyone wanted to know was did the pilots make it out in time," she said.
A board of officers will investigate the accident.
There were no injuries on the ground or damage to buildings, and no munitions were on board. Each B-2 bomber costs about $1.2 billion to build.
Thick, black smoke could be seen billowing from the wreckage at Andersen, said Jeanne Ward, a resident in the northern village of Yigo who was on the base visiting her husband.
Ward said she didn't witness the crash but noticed a rising plume of smoke behind the base's air control tower.
She said crowds began to gather as emergency vehicles arrived. "Everybody was on their cell phones, and the first thing everyone wanted to know was did the pilots make it out in time," she said.
The Air Force, without identifying the pilots, said one was medically evaluated and released, and the other was in stable condition at Guam Naval Hospital.
A board of officers will investigate what caused the bat-like aircraft to crash at 10:30 a.m., shortly after taking off from a runway. It was the first crash of a B-2 bomber, said Capt. Sheila Johnston, a spokeswoman for Air Combat Command at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.
All 21 stealth bombers are based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, but the Air Force has been rotating several of them through Guam since 2004, along with B-1 and B-52 bombers.
The rotations are designed to boost the U.S. security presence in the Asia-Pacific region while other U.S. forces diverted to fight in the Middle East.
The B-2 was first publicly displayed in 1988 and took its first flight a year later. The first bomber was delivered to Whiteman in 1993.
The bombers on Guam were scheduled to return to Missouri now that six B-52s from the 96th Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., have arrived to replace them.
