Good, crew got out.

  I have relatives who live in Ekalaka (my mother is from there as well) and they rountinely see the B1s doin low level training.

  This is not the first crash in this area, one went down near Alzada which is a little further east, back in the 90s if i remember correctly.

news said all the crew ejected but were in the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. 1994 another b-1b crashed and killed all 4 of the crew.

They fly NOE at high speed. I'm sure the window for a successful ejection is very small.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I was on a damage control hunt about 10 years ago in that area where it crashed. It is gods country there, nothing but but miles and miles sagebrush. It is in the far southeast corner of the state. I was working years ago east of Terry and you can see the bombers almost every day. I think that they fly north at low level in the eastern part of the state. All the times that I seen them they are @ 500 feet.

One report of fire prior to crash.  Did it bounce or was there another issue?  The rest of the article is "erased" for our security.  :noid

It is good to hear the crew made it out safely.

I made mention of this before in these forums, but my friends and I use to shoot prairie dogs SW of Newcatle, WY, in what is known as Thunder Basin National Grassland.  Sometime in the mid-1990's, we were resting in the shade of a butte and letting the rifles cool when out of nowhere a B1 roars over us at high speeds.  It was low enough for us to read the letters on the underside.  The bomb bay doors were open, too.  We watched this bomber fly down through the valley and make some long gentle turns and eventually fly out and over the hills in the distance.  It was a very cool feeling watching this elegant beast fly around and know that it was on our side, thankfully.
