It is not a conspiracy, just bad material and the usual military incompetence (and sheer craziness). If you want a good description of what the cold war was about, see Dr. Strangelove. And i am not kidding  |
Who said anything was a conspiracy?I never said anything was a conspiracy I merely gave more information one particular incident.I believe that there where 27 Broken Arrows involving US weapons.Some where lost like the one over Spain and the one over Greenland others where found like the ones in North Carolina.
I often wonder how many Broken Arrow type incidents occurred in the Soviet Union,UK,France and China.Surely they had some problems as well.
All of the bombs unrecoverable that where under US military change where lost in deep waters.The one possible exception would be one that a disabled B-47 dropped at some point off the coast of Georgia the exact location was not known it could have been 20 or 30 miles out at sea or right along the coast near Savannah,Ga they searched for it very extensively but never found it.It is possible that it got buried deep into coastal mud.Most of the bombs where not fully armed luckily.
