Yeah, a MK 17 fell through the bomb bay doors south of the airbase.
There was also a broken arrow when a B29 crashed into the mountains near Manzano base in 1950. The core of the bomb had not been installed, but the HE all cooked off.

I always thought Manzano was a name made up by the Perry Mason writers.
It, along with “Logan City” was used several times.

I thought broken arrow meant a position had been overrun.

I was a pilot in 6th Bomb wing at Roswell and got out of Air Force September 1957. I was not aware of this incident. We were scraping the B 36 going to B52s in late 1957.

Look up Goldsboro, N.C. nuclear incident. Full bomb almost (only one trigger didn’t activate), and it’s still buried out there.
