Update on this crash: It was a B1B model and it crashed in Montana.
Also said that the B1 has a 8,000 psi hydraulic system - that is more than double the 3,000 psi systems on most civil aircraft, or at least the ones I worked on.
Just an invisible spray from a small pin hole leak at that pressure can do some serious damage.
