Of course, the progressives will say: “so who would have noticed the loss of a bunch of racist rednecks.” Of course those now despised “racist rednecks” were all yellow dog voting dimocrats back then.

Wow. Depending on how high it was if it had detonated, we’re lucky we aren’t living in the 1700’s right now. (EMP)

Wouldn’t it have taken some doing to cause them to detonate?

Let’s not forget LBJ setting off a couple of nukes in Mississippi to discourage resistance to the ‘Civil Rights Act’ which he had signed about 3 months before the first one.

While US nukes have numerous safety interlocks that prevent them from accidentally detonating and presumably keeping them from being armed except on Presidential command, I wonder just how secure are the nukes in places like Pakistan and North Korea. Could Pakistani nuclear weapons fall into the wrong hands and be easily used?

There is still a missing H-Bomb somewhere near Tybee island near Savannah Georgia. That was in 1958.

The real danger would come from the impact detonating the conventional explosives within the weapon: that souls scatter plutonium over a wide area. That would contaminate the area for a very, very long time.

Atom bomb nearly detonated over North Carolina in 1961

That was back in the days when we fervently asked "GOD to Bless America". Now with the godless sodomites and the party that booed GOD at their convention, led by the antiCHRIST, in control, I'd bet that last trigger would work perfectly; and we probably deserve it.

They nearly went off, except that the “ARMED” switch was not thrown.

I nearly shot myself at the range this morning, except that the muzzle was pointed downrange instead of at my head. A guy in my town nearly shot his ex-wife, if by “nearly” you mean it went off “while he was cleaning it” and the bullet missed her by a few inches. Those are two very different usages of “nearly”.

A lot of things nearly happen, if by “nearly” you mean something different from what most people mean. Only some of those hypothetical situations are real.
