Default B-1Bs grounded

Apparently all B-1Bs are grounded following an emergency landing at Midland airport in Texas. The grounding was due to the fact that the ejection seats did not function, so the crew landed the airplane with no damage (?). An engine may have trashed itself as the initial problem. A side photo shows that at least one of the rear hatches had left the airplane. Incident was May 1.
