I watched this documentary on PBS last night. It is both very informative and terrifying. We have come close to nuclear disaster many times over. This event was in Arkansas, not far from my current home. I grew up in Kansas and remember some slight mention of a similar incident there back in the 70's. Very scary, especially now that the orange balloon is in charge...

1. Thanks for this...

The history of the old missile silos and just how many times some accident or fire almost wiped out an entire state is a hobby of mine...

2. Not to Mention the Hydrogen Bomb Dropped Somewhere Over North Carolina
