Just read the "Der Speigel" article. It's so full of inaccuracies that one would have to write a Skybird style essay to correct the errors.
One common misconception is that the Goldsboro weapon "went through five of six safety" mechanisms. Not true, there are certainly more than six safety devices in a Mark 39 bomb. The offical observers report and post mortem of the accident is included in full in our book.
As far as more undisclosed accidents and incidents in the U.S., Soviet Union, and Great Britain, stay tuned for our next book, which we hope to publish by the end of December 2008.

Yours, Mike
