A B1 bomber, known as a Lancer, at one time had a crew pod so if there was a circumstance that warranted ejection, all 4 crew members were ejected at once.

That configuration no longer exists. Individual crew members eject on an as-needed basis.

I am curious to know if any crewmembers punched out from this crash.
