In 1966 a B-52 collided with it's tanker, a KC-135 I believe. (To be exact, turbulence put the fuel boom through the B-52 copilot's window) The tanker exploded in midair. The B-52 was crippled and had to jettison it's payload of hydrogen bombs... It then crash landed. Half the bombs hit on land, half went in the ocean.
It was a big stink.
