Left landing gear collapsed when landing, causing it to skid off runway. More info:

Report claims the damage estimate was $10M. Each bomber costs $1.1B, so it was 0.1% of the full unit cost. Similar to a $300 fender-bender on your $30K car.

Crashed? In one piece, just next to the runway at a military base? Looks like a minor mishap.
