(Fox News Story Story B-2 Stealth Bomber Crashes in Guam; Pilots Eject Safely)

Investigators blamed distorted data in the flight control computers caused by moisture in the system. The distorted data resulted in the aircraft making a sudden nose-up move which stalled the B-2.

This was 1 of only 21 B2 bombers ever built and was the most expensive aviation accident in history. Estimates put the cost of the accident at $1.4B.

FREE Baby Gifts; Shower Gifts for Expecting Parents

Excerpts from the article "A Helping Hand for Expecting Parents"

There are a multitude of practical and useful baby gifts available for expecting parents that can help ease the often overwhelming feelings associated with pregnancy, as well as the financial strain of having a child. Of course, friends, colleagues or relatives are sure to be grateful for any gift you give them, but achieving a gift that is helpful and beneficial is assurance that your money has been put to good use.

Baby products such as bibs, towels, baby grows and bottles are all essential items that will be welcomed openly in the new family. Although they may feel well-equipped with these necessities, new parents are always surprised once baby is born at how much these feeding and linen items are in demand on a daily basis! There is a range of inspiring presentation ideas such as baby hampers and diaper cakes that can incorporate all these key elements into one practical and innovative “survival kit”.

For new parents feeling a little out of their depth, baby care guides can provide a welcome source of supportive information. Informative manuals on both pre and post natal stages offer expert advice and uplifting anecdotes, whilst helpful DVDs can calm parents with step-by-step demonstrations. For those on a limited budget, shopping around on the Internet can often result in bargain prices on best selling items. Look for supermarket websites such as ASDA’s book shop that offer big reductions in comparison to the high street. Be careful to research what baby guide books for new parents are currently popular though, as certain pregnancy and birthing techniques can float in and out of fashion.
