Holy Shit: US Missing Nuclear Bomb
 

This was just on my local news...... and found more info on it online:

"On the night of February 5, 1958 a B-47 Stratojet bomber carrying a hydrogen bomb on a night training flight off the Georgia coast collided with an F-86 Saberjet fighter at 36,000 feet. The collision destroyed the fighter and severely damaged a wing of the bomber, leaving one of its engines partially dislodged. The bomber's pilot, Maj. Howard Richardson, was instructed to jettison the H-bomb before attempting a landing. Richardson dropped the bomb into the shallow waters of Warsaw Sound, near the mouth of the Savannah River, a few miles from the city of Tybee Island, where he believed the bomb would be swiftly recovered. "

The missing bomb was never found.

If I am not mistaken there are several Nuclear bombs that have not been recovered over the years.

I knew moving out of Savannah was a good thing :thumbsup

From what I've read on line... depending on who you believe the US is missing anywhere from 4-8 nukes.

And one destroyer.

Someone has it in their trailer and using it for a decoration ... :1orglaugh

lol you think this 50 year old peice of info is breaking news?

The missing bomb was never found.



CALL 1800 555 BOMB if you know any where abouts to the location....


(drama music in back round)

Oh no!!!! Maj. Howard Richardson set us up the bomb!!!! :winkwink:

I didn't say "breaking news". But it came as a surprise to me. I knew they lost a few in Spain and Greenland, but not the US.

I think it may have fallen into the wrong hands.

Still haven't seen Joe Dirt... :1orglaugh

It would probably be easier to steal one from russia then find a old 50 years old bomb that might be leaking

Russia seems to be missing more like 25 of these bombs....

I went looking but all i got was a small dick....

Countries are always getting things from other countries. When I was in the serivce as a medic I learned the ins and outs of some of the different Russian aircraft. The reason is because we were testing them, so I needed to be able to rescue pilots in the event of a crash. Most of the stuff that is recovered is from defectors etc. At least the 2 hind helicopters we were using were from defectors. There were other helo's there as well we learned on but quite honestly it was about 13 years ago and I forget what they were :)

This doesn't surprise me at all that shit like this happens, and I would be it happens more than we think, and that goes for all countries.
