00:00:00 The Day We Almost Nuked Ourselves: The 1961 Goldsboro Incident

But... we have nuked ourselves... like... a lot. Yeah i get that this one was accidental and the other ones were tests, but by official records, 1, 054 were conducted between 1945 and 1992. There was a movie just last year that highlighted one of the detonations in New Mexico in 1945. This was actually the first ever nuclear explosion and was significantly larger than was expected, so one might argue that the US accidentally nuked itself in 1945, long before this accidental near-miss.

Nuclear bombs are not easily detonated by accident. They undergo rigorous testing procedures, such as subjecting their containment systems to high-speed impacts against walls, to ensure their safety.
