Incidentaly I was trained in case of a Nuclear incident.Remember the B52 that stalled into the ground with a so called expert pilot.also wether armed or not radioactive material would have been spread over the crash site and blown in the wind(NOT GOOD) dont treat everyone as though they don,t know anything.PAX.

Oh and by the way it was the USAF that goofed.

Well, the plane actually between North Dakota and Louisiana. The weapons weren't armed. The commander of the munitions squadron at Minot Air Base has been relieved of duty and an investigation is underway. The weapons technicians who loaded the missiles onto the wing pylons have also been relieved and removed from duties involving any munitions. During the Cold War B-52 aircraft were flying with nuclear weapons on board all the time. Of course they didn't have the cable news guys around in those days to point fingers.
Seems to me the Air Force acted more robustly than the "newsies" did when they had embarrasing episodes in their ranks.

Absolutely. What do you have to worry about? Regardless of whether it was on purpose or not, do you know of a better/safer way to transport them? And no, they were not ARMED. They had the nuclear warheads loaded in them, but they were not ARMED. There is a difference and I suggest you do some research and learn the difference before you post nonsense again. Also, what's the worst that would happen? If, by some freak accident, the B-52 pilot deployed the weapon, or the B-52 crashed, so what? It's not like there would be a massive nuclear explosion. It doesn't work like that. So once again, I suggest you do some serious research on the topic before you get your panties all in a bunch.

So are you suggesting that the Air Force is untrustworthy over this? This was obviously a large mistake, however, nothing happened.
So what do you want, blood?
The Air Force has been keeping us safe for a long time.

Unfortunately, mistakes happen. This was a serious mistake.

Not really. That is just unbelievable. They call it an accident-how, exactly would that happen? Those nukes hang under the wing and no one noticed? Good grief.

If it had all gone wrong, would it be classed as "friendly fire"?
