The bits they were not able to recover.
A B 52 with two MK 39 nuclear weapons has the engine catch fire, which ends up with the plane exploding, in mid air, but no before the pilot had ejected the two nuclear weapons.
In addition 5 crew members ejected and survived and another 3 crew members perished.
Of the two nuclear weapons, one landed safely after its parachute deployed.
The other one's parachute did not deploy , hit the ground at 700 MPH and sank into a swamp in North Carolina.
After digging for 40 feet and not finding the bomb, the US military gave up and instead bought the land round the entire area to prevent anyone from coming there.
The US military was this close to nuking North Carolina with a very powerful nuclear weapon. And the nuke still remains there in the swamp , albeit its in a broken up up form till today.
There have been 32 broken arrow incidents with 6 nuclear weapons lost. At least those that the very secretive US government admits to. The video covers some of the other cases too. Its all but certain that the actual numbers are much higher, given that the military took its sweet time before admitting even the cases that they hav admitted to now.
What the US military admit to.

I’m outraged! /s
This article implies that our beloved government would lie to us...
Another is lost in the mud somewhere off the coast of Georgia near Tybee Island.
So when did this accident happen. Inquiring minds want to know.
Hmmm... sort of like all those American firearms “lost in boating accidents”...but only bigger.... REALLY bigger... like biggerly biggerest bigger.
You know... really big...
Nothing worse than a useless excerpt. Couldn’t even put a date or context?
Here.

1961. See post #6.
We didn't exactly lose it, we just sort of, you know, misplaced it... :-(
There should have IMMEDIATE accountability,
if not decimation.
Nikk and I have had planes flying over night and day. One right after the other. We’re north of Louisville. Very loud. Wakes us up at night. Often too high to see during day! Chem trails usually.
Wow, those traffic lights hanging from all those wires and cables look like something out of Somalia.
The idea was to watch to get folks to watch the video (only 12 minutes long), not to post the entire contents of the video.
But yeah I probably should have put the date.
Jeez Louise! What a cool Nuclear System!
I had never heard of this before so thank you very much.
How many did she sell and to whom?
The government is of course full of fine upstanding people who will never even dream of lying to the American people.(Tongue firmly in cheek) :)
Oh cool.
Thanks for the picture.
Don’t mean to get on your case, FRiend. Not your fault.
MK 39 nuclear weapon yield: 3.8 Megatons
Hiroshima bomb yield: 18 kilotons
So that nuke stuffed into a field in NC has a yield of 3,800 kilotons or more than 200X the explosive power of the Hiroshima bomb. Nice.
