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...

Why give apes weapons of mass destruction, this is the 2nd time America almost nuked itself, I remember an unarmed nuke being dropped in the ocean due to a plane fault forcing the bomb drop.
