USA almost nuked itself in 1961
This is a hilarious, but unsettling read. The nukes were 260 times more powerful than the Nagasaki party popper.
[quote]In North Carolina, the two atomic bombs were released after a B-52 airplane carrying the payload went into a tailspin during a routine test flight — one of the bombs eventually landed in a tree, and the other in a meadow, The Guardian says. The document says the bombs should have detonated — parachutes were deployed and triggers were armed, but one low-voltage switch failed to activate as it should have, preventing what would have been devastating and widespread damage.[/quote]
Talk about the ultimate way for a country to crap it's own pants.
Oh and the fallout would have hit Philly and NYC hehehe...

1 ReplyI don't know if im thinking of another incident but I saw a documentary and a bomber carrying a Nuke to somewhere overseas and the plane had problems and they had to drop the bomb in the pacific ocean but it didn't have the (plutonium?) in it so it wasn't a big explosion and the plane crashed in the mountains and the government retrieved the plutonium and blew up the remains of the plane.
