It Is A Fact,

that nuclear bombs have gone 'missing',

photograph US National Archive, what I did not know until today was that one of them was fully armed when lost! the the incident took place in 1965 just 70 miles from the Ryuku Islands, the U.S. government did not notify the Japanese government about the accident until 1989, apparently losing an atomic bomb and nuclear related incidents has its own name, over the decades, the U.S. military has had 32 nuclear accidents, called “Broken Arrow” incidents. These incidents include accidental launches, radioactive contamination, loss of a nuclear weapon or other unexpected events involving nuclear weapons, everyone of them is freighting, but this one that means that a live nuclear bomb in the ocean, is the most freighting of all, as it is still armed and waiting to perform its designated task, at least in the incident that occurred on Jan. 17, 1966, when a B-52 and a KC-135 refueling tanker collided over southern Spain and scattered four B-28 thermonuclear bombs around the fishing village of Palomares, the conventional explosives for two of the bombs exploded, but the other two remained intact, all were recovered, but including the one lost in 1965 six are still missing, for these and other "Broken Arrow" incidents have a look here at Task & Purpose, eventually after decades America did admit the loss to Japan, but one has to ask the question, how many other nuclear bombs have gone missing, the governments of which are not so honest in the disclosing details of the loss?
