...nobody ever dropped nukes on us?

1958 B-47E accidentally drops a Mk 6 30 kiloton atomic bomb, Mars Bluff, SC

What's interesting is there are several accounts with several different dates.

This was the most interesting.

I guess no one ever "misplaced" a sensitive item when they were in the service. Gee, I remember being in lock down when a pair of night vision goggles were mis-placed, and a when a CEOI was lost in the field.

'Howard Nixon worked as a crew chief loading nuclear weapons on to planes at Hunter airfield from 1957 to 1959. He says: “Never in my air force career did I load a nuclear weapon without installing a nuclear capsule in it first.” So..are we to believe from this statement, that Mr. Nixon himself loaded a hot capsule into a weapon? Somehow this does not add up, imho. Why not get some readings off of the area? Then you'll know....
