World: Libya: F-15 fighter jet’s crash not the cheapest thing in the world

  • There goes $30 million: When this F-15 hit the ground and crashed last night (sans crew, who were smart/lucky enough to get out), it added another very large line item onto what’s already been a pretty costly endeavor, based simply on its nature as a wartime endeavor — Operation Odyssey Dawn. And that’s before even counting what’s been destroyed in Libya or the sheer human costs. Mechanical woes were to blame for the crash. source
