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.

The components to fire it have long since become useless.
Heavy element contamination is the only risk at this point, and conventional detectors can pick that up should it leech up to the surface.
I’d be afraid of LBJ. JFK might have done well to be a bit more fearful of him—but whatever else, definitely no commie and not a peacenik either.
It would have been interesting if he had had Patton to work with, though I have little doubt that Patton was a nicer man who had more scruples.
Oh yes, the Infantry RTO in Vietnam had a life expectancy of about 5 minutes in a firefight.
The enemy knew to shoot the radio carrier first if they didn't want arty or CAS bombing them.
The movie it seemed followed that line of history quite well, I remember seeing just about every radioman but the commanders get shot in that movie during the firefights.
“Chemtrails?”
Really?
Ummmmmm, can I get a “very old news”, please?
Say it isn’t so! ;)
Chances are that they do know where it is, but you really don’t want them messing with it...
Hyperbole.
A mishap is an unlucky incident or unfortunate accident. This was no mishap. The sign makes it appear to be a minor event of little significance.
They can either leave it buried in the ground 40(?) feet in muck surrounded by miles of private swamp land or dig it up and ship it off to, um, hmm. Where to ship it off to? Obviously not Yucca Mountain they spent 40 years studying just to have the politicians shut it down.
The government is of course full of fine upstanding people who will never even dream of lying to the American people.

LOL. And we have a system that imposes strict accountability for lying and deceit. /sarc
The nuclear mishap/incident code words are standardized among the services. As nuclear-qualified Field Artillery officer, I kept those in a notebook that was on my person at all times for easy reference during any nuclear inspection.
This end “up”
I remember Aloha_Ronnie, a real classy guy.
Denmark? I thought Greenland, caused by a blanket or coat thrown over a space heater that sparked a fire.
You owe me a new smart phone. Rotflo!!!!
