Over at CNN I found a disturbing story about a hydrogen bomb that was lost off the coast of Georgia (yes, the USA Georgia) in the height of the Cold War.
Well, we found it. While the Air Force insists that the bomb has no plutonium trigger (so that it can't go thermonuclear) and should remain 'irretrivably lost.'
I don't suppose it's too bad in this case (some of the others cited at the end of the article are far worse) -- but it reminds me of a quote from Broken Arrow: "I don't know what scares me more. The fact that we've lost a nuclear weapon, or that it happens so often you have a name for it!"
