I watched a fascinating program on the Science Channel about an incident in 1958 where a bomber had to drop a nuclear bomb into the Atlantic after an accident during a Cold War "game" that went wrong! The bomb is still lost, somewhere off of Tybee Island, Georgia. .... Really interesting story. They never did explain why Radford was the target of the exercise... Maybe they were huntin' for Ole Paul's house???? ============== To see the details Google: Broken arrow Tybee This is only one of many lying around. You would be surprised as to the numbers and where they are. ------------------- Jack Spangler Ellicott City, MD PS I helped in the search for some of those things years ago.
Many years ago, down close to where we lived in Florida (DeFuniak Springs,) they DID accidently drop a bomb on someone's house. Eglin AFB is close by and they were practicing but somebody hit the wrong button and they dropped a live bomb (non-nuclear, of course) on an occupied house...killed a couple of people, I believe. Considering how many military planes constantly fly over that area,though, I guess one accident every 50 years isn't so bad...
