Nuclear Weapons Mistakenly Flown Over US
Opps! You mean those were REAL?!?!
A B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads and flown for more than three hours across several states last week, prompting an Air Force investigation and the firing of one commander, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.
The incident was so serious that President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were quickly informed and Gates has asked for daily briefings on the Air Force probe, said Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell. He said, “At no time was the public in danger.”
Wow, to err is human but to REALLY fuck up requires the US government. It’s nice to know we take our nuclear arsenal that seriously.
Sleep well America!!!
