Here's a couple of pictures of the burned out hulk of the B-2 bomber that crashed in Guam last February. It was the Spirit of Kansas, 89-0127, that crashed and the accompanying article explains why.
The plane is largely constructed of carbon fiber, which creates a nasty situation when it burns – the fibers get in the air with the smoke and can be dangerous if inhaled. The carbon fiber construction also creates a wreck that looks a lot different than a wreck of an metal aircraft.
