B-2 Stealth Bomber Crash Scene Photos

The spectacular crash of a B-2 stealth bomber in February could have been prevented by a simple, unofficial “bootleg” maintenance procedure that some ground crews have used for years.

Officials snapped still photos of that crash site.

In the pictures, firefighters work in silvery suits and crash teams cautiously approach the empty ejection seats, which use explosive charges to gain distance from a foundering airplane.
