Cheap Chinese replacement part?

A quick internet search seems to indicate that a crew has only had to eject one time; of the 6 crew on the plane, 3 survived. (Two of the dead didn’t have ejection seats.)

Really? Didn't have ejection seats or weren't strapped into them?

IIRC, the B1 has a capsule ejection and the incident you mention was on a B-1A, which had individual ejection seats.
