Really?

[h=1]That Time We Bombed North Carolina[/h][h=2]A B-52 ONCE ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED TWO NUCLEAR BOMBS ON NORTH CAROLINA. FIVE OUT OF SIX SAFETY DEVICES FAILED ON ONE OF THE BOMBS AND WE STILL HAVEN’T RECOVERED THE URANIUM.[/h]On January 24, 1961, a B-52 bomber carrying two 24 megaton nuclear bombs broke apart in midair, causing the pilots to eject and the bombs to drop. The force of the breakup caused the arming sequence of the bombs to start. One bomb hit the ground and shattered after its parachute failed. The other bomb’s parachute deployed, with only one of the six safety switchespreventing a nuclear explosion. That switch was later found to be defective in many bombs and was replaced.
The crash took place in a swampy area, and part of one of the bombs, containing uranium, was never recovered. The Air Force now owns an easement for the land where the bombs fell and requires permission for anyone who wants to dig in the area.
After the incident, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara statedthat “By the slightest margin of chance, literally the failure of two wires to cross, a nuclear explosion was averted.”
