Subject: Nuclear weapons incident, how much dangerous ?
bravoss 10/19/2007 7:02:52 PM

As you all probably already heard about the incident that happened in August this year, when six cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads were attached under the wings of the B-52 instead of six cruise missiles with dummy warheads sent for decommissioning. How dangerous was that incident ? In what scenarios could those nukes go off ? The USAF says that those missiles were at no time in configuration for deployment. What would happen if the same mistake happened on a training exercise... If the plane smashed the ground would the nukes go off ?
