It's frightening to see how easily a lack of attention to detail and basic procedures can lead to a catastrophic crash. It highlights the importance of staying vigilant, even in routine situations, and the need for constant learning and improvement in the military.
I still remember that night this happened, I was in one of the Hangars closest to the runway about 100ft (Give or take) from the crash. From inside the hangar me and the guys I were with heard one of the two jets flying that night touch down and land just fine, then probably 5-10 minutes later heard the 4 distinct blasts of the ejection seats. Two of the guys I was with went outside to see if anything was wrong and they ran in yelling about a fire so we went out and lo and behold there was the crash. We were standing near the taxiway watching the burning wreckage for a few minutes before the prior crew (who had already disembarked) drove over and told us the pilots had gotten out safely. The fire was so high you couldn't even see the top of the flames through the fog. Overall probably one of the most chaotic nights I've experienced in the Air Force, so many things went wrong.
I live near Ellsworth and I’ve heard multiple rumors that they are considering conversion of a few B1 airframes to a gunship role in part because of their high potential loitering time. Anyone else know if that is true?
@@douglaseuritt3919I know they’re using them as CAS aircraft because of its loiter time and payload. The B-1 has no potential as a gunship. It’d just carry gps guided bombs when acting as air support.
As a military veteran, I find this story disturbing. Not just for the revelation of such lax discipline in among those charged with such a critical part of our strategic defense capability, but also from a basic organizational level. I noticed that neither this video nor the Airforce public affairs press release mention any disciplinary actions. None against the air crew, the bomb group leadership or the airbase operations staff. This is an incident that should have resulted in relief of command at the 06 level, at least. Also, since I mentioned "command", I noticed that this video referred to the Bomb Squadron "director". I assume that refers to the officer in charge of the organization. That person is a "commander", not a "director". Anyone who has ever served in the military, as a leader at any level, will immediately understand that difference.
Speaking of NOTAMs, the system is broken. There is way too much repetitive boilerplate information and critical information is not bubbled up to the top. Hence it's far too easy to miss this kind of one liner notice. There's work on-going to address this, but given that it's government I'm not holding my breath.
They will probably end up changing it calling it something else and then you'll just have two completely different standards and the FAA will use the new one but some people being sticks in the mud will use the old one and because it's still available they'll be able to
FYI, The B-1B is not a nuclear capable aircraft. They have not been capable of deploying nuclear weapons for a couple decades now. The equipment required to communicate with and arm nuclear weapons was removed a long time ago.
I live right next to Ellsworth AFB and distinctly remember this crash...it was all over the news here and across the country... it's crazy how many violations there were... I've been waiting for a breakdown of this one since it happened... I also remember reading in an article about the accident that another non-personell related issue was icing as well as the wind shear...
I spent six years flying F4s in the Air Force. How the hell could aircraft on a training flight unknowingly run so low on fuel that they had to divert???? Sounds like Article 15 or worse for a bunch of people.
Straight Way moving, too big, no stealth and easy detectable for modern radars and very vulnerable to modern surface to Air missiles like Russian s400 and S500 etc the B1 lancer is the flying coffin for it's Crew in a suicide mission.
I remember that on. Happen just after I got to my permanent base Grand Forks AFB to work on the BONE. First B1B crash was near La Junta, Co. it was caused by pelicans.
The beginning of the video talks about nuclear deterrence. The B-1 was designed as a nuclear weapons carrier but no longer has a nuclear role, it is strictly a conventional weapon platform. Also, it refers to the aircraft as a Mach 2 aircraft. The B-1A was such but when it evolved into the B-1B (the only variant used) speed was sacrificed in favor of stealth characteristics and it is a Mach 1.2 aircraft. Finally, he mentions the crews decided they could land from a visual approach with 1/2 mile visibility. This is simply not true though later it was corrected to the crews flying an ILS.
Usually a cat II and cat III ILS has an MDA of 100 AGL or cat I of 200, but I don't know how the B1 or airfield are equipped and both field and aircraft have to have the same or higher standard. Still there is no excuse to not be watching the ILS needles as pilot flying, so he clearly flew below the descent profile of the ILS beam if he hit the ground short.
@@larrybremer4930 My post was to take the video with a grain of salt, they got a couple very simple facts wrong. This does not excuse the crew! This accident is very similar to the one we had in 1989 (or 88?). Pressure from leadership and poor crew communications. Black then, the BONE didn't have a usable ILS and a TACN approach was the best we could do. That has obviously been corrected but to my knowledge both the aircraft and Ellsworth runways are CAT I ILS.
@@scottjordan3616 Good Info. I find it interesting that the avionics suite in military aircraft do not have Cat IIIc (basically autoland) for handing poor visibility approaches. I mean I more understand this for Naval aviation since a carrier probably does not want the EM emissions but an airfield using an ILS system is not broadcasting its position because its fixed and everyone knows where it is vs that mobile carrier (that still everyone knows about where it is) that does not want to give away its position. Had a Cat IIIc been used in this case the MDA in theory can be zero and needs only a few hundred yards of visibility down the runway to steer the rollout, thus the accident would not have happened.
Thank you for this video! It was incredibly interesting, as all of your videos are. I hadn't even heard of this incident, as I am Swedish (lives in Norway though) and don't really follow things in the US that closely - apart from their politics as it has an impact on life in my part of the world as well. You did a great job summarizing this so that I, a layperson who loves aviation but has no personal experience in a cockpit, could understand it easily enough.
Almost, and sadly a common problem in the military today. Lax standards and lower IQ individuals are the new cream of the crop when it comes to our military, and its not just ours. New Zealands DEI standards are such that 3 of the four newest lesbian female officers assigned to co of military vessels have been disasters, one has sunk her ship by running it aground and sinking it. Another ran her ship square into a pier causing over a quarter million dollars damge just to the ship and another was demoted for being a bully to her crew. We just lost an F-15 Eagle today because a couple DEI pilots from our military crashed it. Its not anything anyone wants to talk about (and there is alot more crashes happening) but apparently being the best you can be has taken on a serious lowering of standards. Great video.
Two maintenance personnel also tested positive. Two commanders were fired. And the base is still scheduled to take the first (brand new) B-21 bomber and nuclear weapons within the next 12-months. Scary.
All while the video of the B1 landing at the end of the simulation video exceeded the safe landing area margins and continued to force it down, well into the landing margins of the other end of the runway.
@alastorgdl What team do you imagine I'm in? Perhaps UK's? Or USA? Or Au's? Or ...? You have no idea. By the way, did you notice the quoting marks? Do you know what they mean, or should I explain?
@@wafikiri_ quoting marks have several uses and irony is just one. Other, far more logical in this case, is exactly QUOTING what other people said, real or figurative.
Right. Because idiots never existed in the military before DEI and there were never any idiot-caused mishaps. Do you begin to comprehend the depths of your stupidity?
I'm trying to figure out why being low on fuel would have required flying to Altus or Tinker in oklahoma, as the test range is in Montana, Wyoming area. Offut; FE Warren, McConnell in Kansas are really closer than OK and Ellsworth is closer than all of them. I was stationed at both Ellsworth AFB and McConnell in Kansas, when McConnell had a B-1 mission.
Now hold on a minute; Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota? There was a B1 crash there many years ago. I was at the Reunion Bar in Rapid City and we went out to see the flames from the fire. This story sounds similar but 2024? This is a second B1 crash there? 🤷
There was rapidly deteriorating weather conditions literally all the way to the runway in the ground for the second jet to land.... There was also a tailwind that affected the true AirSpeed and the ground speed this area of the United States has crazy weather changes and there's no question that the US Air Force is the greatest fighting force on planet Earth...
As an instructor pilot at a major airline, I can tell you new hires coming from the military have horrible manual flying skills. It has really gone downhill in the last few years.
If you look up the accident report, you will see that the crew has been getting very few flying hours a month. I am impressed that they got as close as they did in those condtions with that many nav system failures. In the eighties in ADC, an aircraft with that many system problems wouldn't have flown short of war. All of the crew would have need a lot of sim time, and then full check rides.
Automated aircraft. I teach with the flight simulators for Air Force special operations command pilots. I can see if I had been brought up in this era. I would have poor manual flying skills as well not to mention upgrade pilot training is greatly reduced.
Sounds to me like the CO was the one to blame. Ultimately the squadron culture comes from the top. Everyone was being way too cavalier, a sure sign the brass were not ensuring good discipline and protocols.

They needed to update the Notam system functionality, not the name of it. Buttgig let the FAA go without even appointing a director for about the first 18 months of the biden administration .And then they ended up appointing a guy with no background in aviation whatsoever after that.
Don’t categorize the entire Air Force as having lack of discipline! You ever serve in the Air Force? There are several squadrons all having different commanders. You also need to understand how pilots are treated. They spend a lot of money training pilots and can’t afford to loose one person. Notams go all to all for all kinds of reasons not just for pilots. You also failed to say that there was another b-1 that landed safely. Ellsworth has one runway. Yes runway 13 and if you come from the south it’s 31. You make it sound like there was more than one runway. $456 mil jet. Who cares, there are 17 sitting in the boneyard and the plane is being retired. So imo it’s really not a loss. Lack of discipline is just an excuse. Do you really think all of those finding could have been found out in the short time the investigation was conducted? We are the greatest Air Force In the world. Shit happens, things do get complacent, you get tired of training over and over again to the point you just want to leave, but that training will save lives in the end.
You do not SET a radar altimeter. The radar altimeter simply measures the distance between the aircraft and the ground.. You presumably mean they weren't checking the minimum safe altitude presumably. In any event, an attempt to land after encountering windshear is a crazy idea as the approach is no longer stable. The attempt to land should have been aborted and a go-around initiated.
Minimum Safe Altitude is not what you think it is (MSA) That is a vectoring altitude within the airport environment to clear obstacles.. "Minimums" are what you mean. You set Rad Altimeter to that altitude. You go missed approach if runway environment not in sight and you are at your Minimums.
@@johnhanson9245 A radio/radar altimeter provides the distance between the plane and the ground beneath it. It does NOT require being SET. It has no mechanism to even adjust it. What you DO set is local barometric pressure for the baro altimeter so that it reads correctly. Some airlines also adjust for field elevation so that it reads height above the runway too. You monitor the distance above the ground and when it's low then you should be landing. Yes regarding calling out minimums, the runway should be insight for visual landings (not for ILS autoland which in Category 3C which is full autoland with no required Decision Height or Runway Visual Range),
You can set the bug on the radalt dial to give an audible buzzing alarm through the headsets and a warning light on the radalt when the radalt needle hits or go lower than the bug, I'm pretty sure that's what he's referring to.
10:32 Wow! Now that would be a novel situation; for someone to actually pick a fight with the US. Thats like completely the wrong way around! Has that even happened in decades? You could probably prevent that by just regularly putting out a timetable of coming attacks just in case that someone is due for a scheduled attack in the near future anyway (maybe their EV's are too cheap) - so saving the inconvenience of them attacking you first...that would serve the secondary important goal of reducing the over all carbon death footprint (CDF) thereby achieving more environmentally friendly kills and a more sustainable continuous enemy reduction profile (ERP) ratio.....just sayin'
When you're so good that you don't bother doing the stuff that makes you good, but still think you're good.
Fos or fubar 😂
Military has changed a lot over the years, and not for the better.
Sounds like the military’s horrendous focus on DEI is really catching up to them now.

Can't blame Boeing for this one
You can, if you try hard enough. Boeing is the current prime contractor for the B-1B, I’m sure they screwed something up.

Shit happens, things do get complacent, you get tired of training over and over again to the point you just want to leave, but that training will save lives in the end.
You do not SET a radar altimeter. The radar altimeter simply measures the distance between the aircraft and the ground..
You presumably mean they weren't checking the minimum safe altitude presumably.
In any event, an attempt to land after encountering windshear is a crazy idea as the approach is no longer stable. The attempt to land should have been aborted and a go-around initiated.
Minimum Safe Altitude is not what you think it is (MSA) That is a vectoring altitude within the airport environment to clear obstacles.. "Minimums" are what you mean. You set Rad Altimeter to that altitude. You go missed approach if runway environment not in sight and you are at your Minimums.
@@johnhanson9245 A radio/radar altimeter provides the distance between the plane and the ground beneath it. It does NOT require being SET. It has no mechanism to even adjust it. What you DO set is local barometric pressure for the baro altimeter so that it reads correctly. Some airlines also adjust for field elevation so that it reads height above the runway too.
You monitor the distance above the ground and when it's low then you should be landing. Yes regarding calling out minimums, the runway should be insight for visual landings (not for ILS autoland which in Category 3C which is full autoland with no required Decision Height or Runway Visual Range),
You can set the bug on the radalt dial to give an audible buzzing alarm through the headsets and a warning light on the radalt when the radalt needle hits or go lower than the bug, I'm pretty sure that's what he's referring to.
Why does the video show runway 30, when the approach was to runway 13?
Well… In short, the narrator nailed it. Indicative of DEI hired at the top of the food chain. As real qualified get shafted.
That’s what you get with DEI Hires
Maybe you woke up & discovered this on 4 OCT, but the incident occurred on 4 JAN. Also, its Notice to Airmen NOT Air Missions.
That's NOTICE TO AIRMEN, not NOTICE TO AIR MISSIONS.
I hate that they changed it
10:32 Wow! Now that would be a novel situation; for someone to actually pick a fight with the US. Thats like completely the wrong way around! Has that even happened in decades? You could probably prevent that by just regularly putting out a timetable of coming attacks just in case that someone is due for a scheduled attack in the near future anyway (maybe their EV's are too cheap) - so saving the inconvenience of them attacking you first...that would serve the secondary important goal of reducing the over all carbon death footprint (CDF) thereby achieving more environmentally friendly kills and a more sustainable continuous enemy reduction profile (ERP) ratio.....just sayin'
Thanks for not pronouncing ‘Nuclear’ as ‘Nukilar’ or ‘Nukular’. 🙏🙂
Lol, the 4th of Oct 24....😅 didn't this happen in January of 24?
B-1 aka The Bone
Check the date of incident.
Not like Top Gun.
Minuteman ICBM is 70yo.
You need to learn to research better. The B1B is no longer nuclear capable and it can't go up to Mach 2.2.
This accident happened back in January, not earlier this month.
October 4th doesn’t sound right
Stop saying Notice to Air Missions... Every professional pilit hates it! 😅
🗑️
No drug tests ??
OKLAHOMA!!!!!
So many errors... your credibility on the rest is questionable, at best.
Only the original B-1A could top out at MACH-2, but the B-1B, aka, The BONE, can only top out at MACH-1.25.
