THE GOLDSBORO B-52 CRASH: ONE SWITCH
Episode 102 | History's Mysteries — Mysterious Events
In this Mystery episode we focus on January 24th, 1961 — the night a US Air Force bomber broke apart over North Carolina and dropped two hydrogen bombs, each more than 250 times the power of Hiroshima, onto American soil, with three of four safety mechanisms on one weapon failing before a single switch held and prevented detonation.
The switch held. The classified report stayed secret for decades. Part of the second bomb is still in the ground.
