"Crew Ejects Unharmed as B-1 Bomber Crashes on Training Mission at Ellsworth Base"

A B-1 Lancer bomber from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota crashed during a training mission. All four crew members ejected safely before the crash, which occurred while the aircraft was attempting to land. An investigation board has been set up to determine the cause of the accident. The B-1 has been a key part of the U.S. Air Force's operations since the 1980s, with a shift from nuclear to conventional missions in 1994, and has seen extensive use in combat since 2001.
