"An Air Force B-52 bomber flew across the central United States last week with six cruise missiles armed with nuclear w
warheads that were mistakenly attached to the airplane's wing, defense officials said yesterday."

Riiiiiight.... "Mistakenly attached"....

I thought they kept the Specials FAR AWAY from the Regulars....

Air Force officials said the mistake was a serious breach of rules and that an investigation began immediately.

Thats no bullshit^^^^^


The aircraft's pilots and other crew members were unaware that they were carrying nuclear warheads, officials said

this on the other hand is absolute bullshit

If 6 nuclear armed cruise missiles "Just Get Misplaced", how many nukes have been sold to say, The Saudi Terrorists Bush Supports?

My belief is, US personnel are easily as good as their UK counterparts - and it must be the organisation that lets the whole thing down. The number of "friendly fire" incidents (that have been investigated) that have occurred, and now something like this, just tells me that the guys and gals doing the job are not the problem - it is the systems by which they are doing their jobs which really need to be looked at.

Status: offline 		Oh please....i'd like to know who the idiot with an agenda was that leaked the story.

It's a serious breach of procedures if this was an accident. (I can't think of a safer
way to transport nukes than an 8 engine bomber).

There's a full court press to make the military look like a bunch of stupid murdering
savages and I for one am sick and tired of it. That's all this story is.

For those without a basic background in physics, you can't make an implosion device
nuclear warhead detonate via collision or via external explosives. (You can certainly
make a clean up mess though, and in the process cause a bunch of sheeple to
stampede and hurt themselves when they happen to run into the closest pointy
object).

South Carolina had a bbomb dropped on it during the cold war.  It leveled a small shed and a out house, and was the only nuke ever to be dropped on US soil.  That said the material didn't go off(which is almost impossibleto do) and the area was easily cleaned up.  You can go out and see the place if you want.

The larger question is why did the warheads get brought out if they werent scheduled, and or not put away.  As much as you guys are worried, I am sure they figured this crap out fast, I am sure all our weapons are accounted for even with the occasional mistake.

Russia on the other hand, not so good.

Why are you so sure?

Is it the way they've fucked up just about everything else over the past four years?

That's if you don't consider the Saudi Government to be Terrorists.

Not since 1968 they haven't. That's why we spend so much money on the missile submarines.

Given they shouldn't have been out AT ALL, the question: "When do we get to see the results of the audit?" still remains.
