Min alt and time to do it.
What type ejection seats is the B-1 equiped with?  What are the seat performance envelope(s)?  What caused the crew to eject?

What caused the crew to eject?
There was an explosion, fire and then it lost a wing according to the news story. Engine disintegrated?

It's your browser and the way the newspaper formats their site. Open the same site with SuperBird, or Safari and it will read fine. The latest versions of IE, Firefox, and Chrome see the text as greyed out.

I discovered a little problem with IE, and Mozilla, that doesn't seem to be inherited by the other browsers (Chrome, Safari, PaleMoon, SuperBird). If you have a non-TrueType version of Helvetica, or Times fonts installed (and possibly others) then web pages designed to call Helvetica or Times through their CSS code will fail. This problem used to be a Type 1 font issue, but it has now become an OpenType and Raster issue as well.

If you have not installed any fonts to Windows then you should not have this problem.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

I am very glad they got out.  That looks nasty, but more airplane shaped than I would expect.  The four points, nose, tail and each wingtip are pretty clear.
