Well, that's comforting.

Because fark Spain. That's why.

Why wouldn't they?

"One bomb fell into the ocean and was eventually recovered. The other three landed near the village of Palomares in southern Spain."

So...they fell mainly on the plain?

//From the plane?

Extremely lucky they landed in a rural area

We drop bombs accidentally all over the place. I worked with former F-117a pilots that tell about the guy who got a warhead in his bathtub because a pilot accidentally fired a live weapon (fortunately with safeties still intact) during a training mission and hit the pretend target: some random guys house in Albuquerque.

The uranium in Spainium falls mainly from the planeium.

Loaf's Tray: "One bomb fell into the ocean and was eventually recovered. The other three landed near the village of Palomares in southern Spain."

Yes, the planes in Spain dropped bombs on the plain like rain.

To get to the other side?

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! We cleaned up the mess. How many times do we need to apologize, geeze?

No one expects the Spanish Incineration!

Gotta nuke somethin'.

In the movie Men of Honor, the mission at the end is to recover these weapons.

Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

Speaking of obscure nuclear museums...

You can literally put your finger on (and push) "the button" at the Tital missle museum, outside of Tucson, AZ.

so, good shooting and bad shooting?

Because the pilot made the error of switching over to manuel control?

There's also a lost H-Bomb somewhere off the coast of Georgia, near Savannah.

Because we are the United States of farkin-a America and we can drop our god damn bombs wherever the hell we want. That's why! You liberal panzied communist freak!

So much for our ruthless efficiency . . .

Because we're tired of getting momentarily turned on when our girlfriends suggest we go to a tapas bar.

The aircraft's CRM-114 was shorted out by an anti-aircraft missile. They never got the recall code.

zedster: zedster: He also was aware of a white supremacist plot to over throw a Caribbean island and failed to do anything about it or was marginally involved

In 1981, a lawyer tried to subpoena Ron Paul to testify in the trial of Don Black, a Grand Wizard for the Ku Klux Klan who would later go on to found the white supremacist, neo-Nazi website, Stormfront. Black was charged along with two other Klansmen with planning to violently overthrow the small Caribbean country of Dominica in what they called "Operation Red Dog." While a judge refused to subpoena Paul, Don Black would come back to haunt him many years later. (new window)

Wrong thread, sorry

No one was expecting that!

/Of course not--your chief weapon is surprise . . .

Haven't we also dropped nukes on North Carolina, Georgia, Greenland, Canada, I think Maine, and probably several other places I can't think of off hand?

They dropped one in SC around that time too. It exploded and blew up a farm. Luckily the atomic portions was not armed.

Two of the bombs actually detonated-sort of. Only the non-nuclear explosives went off, turning them into what we'd call "dirty bombs" today. Some 650 acres, a little more than a square mile of farmland and rural communities, were contaminated. The U.S. military ended up excavating 1,400 tons of soil from this area and shipping it to the United States for disposal.

What the Fark?!

That would explain this:

"Ma, ma! Watch me float over this magic hill!"

This book is an interesting read for anyone interested in just how insane our nuclear posture was in the 70's and 80's, written by the guy in charge of it. We quite literally targeted damn near everything with nukes.

Just now?

its obvious the U.S is the real danger to world peace

I kept staring at it, but I can't find the Google logo in there. Then again, it is a Picasso.

You dropped a nuke on me, baby You dropped a nuke on me (But you turned me into glass baby) You dropped a nuke on me, baby You dropped a nuke on me
