B-1 bomber crash report blasts crew mistakes, culture of ‘complacency’

The crew of a B-1B Lancer that crashed at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota in January failed to properly manage the bomber’s airspeed and angle of approach while landing, a scathing accident investigation board report found.

The investigation, which Air Force Global Strike Command released Thursday, also found that poor weather conditions, a lack of discipline, poor resource management and communication, and “an organizational culture that tolerated decaying airmanship skills” were among the other factors contributing to the Jan. 4 crash.

none, no blame on crew. All Boeing’s fault for not designing an airplane that does everything for you.
