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...
