    3. 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. The CREEPY part of the story was that the pretend "target" of the war game was RADFORD, VA!!! Two bombers, loaded with real nuclear bombs, flew over Radford and pretended to wipe them out!!! The flight plan took them down toward Charlotte, so they probably flew right down over my house in Hillsville! Sure glad they had their accident and bomb drop out over the Atlantic instead of over the mountains! Really interesting story. They never did explain why Radford was the target of the exercise... Maybe they were huntin' for Ole Paul's house???? MizzKat
