Nuke Accidents Book on Amazon, B&N, etc.

Greetings,
Jim Oskins and I now have our book ("Broken Arrow, The Declassified History of U.S. Nuclear Weapons Accidents") available on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, and Barnes and Noble. Content is in English.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Broken-Arrow-Declassified-History-Accidents/dp/1435703618/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208899050&sr=8-2

Using declassified U.S. government documents and photos, we detail nearly every known U.S. nuclear weapons accident (thirty-six to date, not 32 as commonly reported).

We also disprove nonsense widely circulated on the web, such as statements that the Tybee bomb presents a nuclear detonation hazard, that a missing bomb remains on the seabed at Thule (all four Mk28FI bombs underwent conventional HE detonation), and that a nuclear weapons accident occured at RAF Greenham Common (U.S. and UK documents prove nothing of the sort happened).

Additionally, we are working on a new book to be released in June or July 2008, which will document information on four additional accidents we have located in U.S. government archives (thus bringing the total to 40). Also to be included are reports on dozens of serious nuclear weapons incidents, called "Bent Spears".

Yours, Mike

PS- book also available on e-bay.

Interesting, Mike. Quite the writers guild Subsim has going.

Congratz, Mike!
The book sounds interesting! It deserves Subsimmers support.

Cool. Hopefully you dispell a few fears around the only technology that is healthy for the enviro, and the only thing capable of keeping up with our energy needs.

So what's your take on the Barksdale Incident?

[MadMike]

Ishmael,
Which one? :o

Basically, in regards to the "transfer" incident they didn't perform safety checks as required by tech data, Air Force Regulations (oops, "Instructions"), Bomb Wing Instructions, DOD Regulations, Nuclear Safety Rules, etc., etc. More background here-

(I didn't write the article or contribute).

Another Barksdale incident involved a C-124 crash in 1959 (one weapon destroyed, two damaged). Caused by engine failure.

Yours, Mike
