    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.

    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.

    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.

      @scottjordan3616 23 дня назад +3

      @@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.

    • @larrybremer4930
      @larrybremer4930 23 дня назад +2

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    • @johnhanson9245
      @johnhanson9245 21 день назад

      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.

      @grahamstevenson1740 21 день назад

      @@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'
