Kind of a false lead into the story. Since the bombs were still on the plane. However some heads will roll from ground crew to air crew over this mistake.....

I wonder when and if they will ever find the other missing nuclear war heads that have already been accidently dropped. I remember one in Georgia off the coast or near an inlet ... a nuclear depth charge I do believe.

Accidents do happen ... glad this wasn't one of them.

One helluva mistake whichever way you look at it

Ok I know the B-52 is big but for god's sake get up off your lazy @$$ and walk around the plane before taking off!! They do that on the little pointy nose planes. Its not like they were hidden in the bomb bay or anything they were hanging off the wings in plain view.

Perhaps it was the new B-52 stealth bomber and they just didn't see them ...

Did they issue the crew with cowboy hats and tell then Russia awaits??? I'm sure plenty of heads will roll.

Will Greenpeace now picket the Airfoce base , due to nuclear weapons beening brought in?:hmm:

This story even got the top placement on Drudge Report before Thompson announced . . . and I love how even though DoD Policy is neither to confirm or deny the presence of Nuclear Weapons, anywhere, even on SSBNs, there are several "unnamed officers" who confirm their presence. The ground crew who let this happen, the aircrew who flew this aircraft without checking their aircraft properly, and the leakers should all be flogged infront of a formation of all the servicemembers of the base which they are assigned at. But why is it that we just don't assume that all capable ships and aircraft already carry atleast one nuclear capable ordanance. I mean, isn't that the reason for the DoD policy . . . to increase the nuclear detterent potential of the capable weapon platforms?

I'm sure the missles were supposed to be on the plane, just not with real warheads. The Air Force can't be that silly.
