Morning Gents.

Feb 5 1958

The US Air Force manages to lose an H-bomb somewhere off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. Way to go!


how in the Hell did they manage to do that??

[Flynbyu]

The bomb has never been found either.



A B-47 bomber dropped the 7,000-pound nuclear bomb into the waters off Tybee Island, Ga., after it collided with another Air Force jet.

~Brian

[BRAD]

thats crazy.  You would think they would still be putting some real effort into finding that thing.
