This is a story I had the opportunity to shoot as a photojournalist at KFDA, the CBS affiliate in Amarillo, Texas. Pantex is a nuclear facility under the authority of the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration. The B-53 was a nuclear weapon created in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis with the specific purpose of destroying underground bunkers. As part of the renewed START treaty, Pantex dismantles the very last B-53.
