They lost a nuke. Nothing to see here.

The B-52 Disappearance is a puzzling event from 1956 when a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber, on a routine flight over the Mediterranean Sea, mysteriously disappeared. This aircraft was carrying two nuclear bombs, one of which was eventually located on the seabed. However, the second bomb remained unrecovered, sparking deep concerns due to its live nuclear core. This missing nuclear weapon raised grave fears of a potential nuclear accident with devastating consequences. The incident highlighted the risks associated with Cold War-era practices of transporting live nuclear weapons and emphasized the urgent need for enhanced safety protocols in handling such highly sensitive military assets. The B-52 Disappearance thus serves as a stark reminder of the perils of managing nuclear weaponry amid a backdrop of intense geopolitical tension.
