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

The original B-1A had a heavy 6 seat ejection capsule. The B-1B has four individual ejection seats.

The B-1B has four individual ejection seats. The B-1A, that was cancelled by President Carter, was designed with the capsule ejection system.
