“What would happen if a 4-megaton hydrogen bomb detonated over North Carolina? On January 24th, 1961, the world almost discovered the answer. When the U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber broke apart over Goldsboro, North Carolina that night, two W-39 H-bombs fell out of the aircraft. Each bomb had four safety devices that were supposed to keep it from accidentally exploding over Kansas instead of deliberately detonating over Moscow. When searchers recovered one of the bombs, they discovered that three of the four safety devices had failed, according to a declassified document obtained by journalist Eric Schlosser and revealed in his new book Command and Control.”
