How exactly do you lift a B-1B Bomber ?

http://www.strategypage.com/gallery/...6620201331.asp

When a huge Rockwell B-1B Bomber lands with its undercarriage up and slithers along the runway,just how do you get her onto her undercarriage legs again ? well this set of photographs says it all,you have to hand it to this very professional team,a seemingly impossible task is made to look easy.

Makes you wonder how they lift 45,000 tons of steel out of the water to do a cruise ship dry dock doesn't it?

...or does it?!!!!
