Narrative:

There was training on local control. I heard the clearance delivery controller say; 'you need to send that guy around.' I turned around; looked at the runway; and saw an R22 departing runway 24 airborne approximately at taxiway A3; and a PA28; touching down around taxiway A2. The aircraft appeared to be less than 2;000 ft apart. I immediately offered to get the local control controllers off position; however the trainer said; 'well; it's already happened; let's keep training;' and advised of his intention to file a report. Another controller was going to be up to relieving the local controller. As controller in charge; I should have been paying closer attention to local control; especially while they were training.
