This happened fairly often with lost nukes, which tended to toss some of the active contents around the impact zone.<br /><br />Most of the time, the warhead didn't have the "core" installed when being transported, so it would not be able to go critical when triggered. However, some of our lost warheads were fully armed when they hit the ground/water.<br />Amazing how many that have been dropped, have never been found. Boggles the mind. I wonder what the finder's fee would be?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-13768104455350316252014-02-05T12:35:51.152-05:002014-02-05T12:35:51.152-05:00Let's not mention Operation Plowshare, which s...Let's not mention Operation Plowshare, which <i>successfully</i> nuked very many places in the western US, including a couple just up the valley from where I live!
