This is what a couple of billion dollars worth of carbon fiber looks like.

This B2 (The Spirit of Kansas) caught fire on take off in February, lost all flight control, and crashed next to the main runway, at Anderson AFB on Guam. Both the pilot and mission commander ejected safely. To the testament of carbon fiber construction (quite a bit in the B2), other than the fire damage, the aircraft is remarkably intact, considering it's uncontrolled fall from the sky.

These photos were taken by an anonymous crewmember of a plane that was parked on the flightline, shortly after the crash of the B2. Probably the only closeup photos taken of the crash site other than official AF investigation photos, which will never be released.

Nothing secret is revealed in the photos, just proof of carbon fiber's amazing strength.
