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...

  • Weve set off plenty of nukes in, under and above the us, this wouldnt have made a difference unless it hit a populated center. And since it is in NC, i really wish it had gone off, imagine the difference it could have made.
