Just out of interest Maga, when the Hydrogen Bombs that were dropped just off Spain after the B52 + tanker crash many years ago were recovered, and they were 25 Megaton bombs, which are VERY BIG bombs indeed, the fireball is 9 miles wide !! when one of the weapons techs examined one he found that out of 4 safety interlocks 3 had closed he said "we nearly lost Spain, and promptly fainted.
Where did you hear that the RDC driver waiting room?
Look it up [zb], its a matter of record.

Almost 50 yrs ago… no wonder why I haven’t heard about this before.
Its a lesser known RDC fact that the hydrogen bombs couldnt be safely deactivated so a decision was made to push up the moon landing project thus allowing them to be deposited in space by the robotic attempts which pre empted mans first moon landing, think luna 16 took one up (Im not allowed to discuss if the moon landings actually happened).
Anyway these bombs are still orbiting the earth as space junk as well as other dodgy man made parafinalia.

You want to spend a few minutes looking up cases where Nukes have “accidently” been dropped or “lost” in accidents and just how close some have come to going bang, its quite an eye opener.
" a Pentagon document stated that five of the bomb’s six safety mechanisms had failed; “only a single switch” prevented the nuclear detonation of this 24 megaton device" Sorry to bring it up again but that sentence is from the official report, I told you wrong 5/6 failed, and it was 24 not 25 megaton, but I am getting old.

This bomb was dropped intentionally (I think) and was done so in Greenville, North Carolina - The town I used to live in!

Having seen a few of chaps straight from the forces drive…
Maybe the police are with them in case any of them have to reverse
It will upset a few ex-forces on here but, we’ve got a loggies base down the road, I’m sure some are ok but have to be honest, in general, the driving is always bloody terrible. They seem to have given up on putting the gateposts back up every time an a-frame skelly is driven into them these days.

Dropped “INTENTIONALLY” on North Carolina, Good God what had they done wrong? seems a bit harsh even by American standards.
