As you can imagine, the U.S. military doesn't like to talk about this but it appears some are in the ocean. The same goes for plenty of Russian nukes, btw.

You're welcome, Dosamuno, and thank you for sharing like this (and for the link). I remember reading that book when I wrote my first book (an alternative history of WWII). Wrote a little about Hiroshima recently: https://mickeyz.substack.com/p/why-did-the-us-nuke-civilians

I live close to a mountain range(Manzanos-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzano_Mountains) This is where they hollowed out part of one to store nukes, who knows how many? Near Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I live, and at one point in time, # 10 on a list of targeted cities during the during the decades long Cold War. I hiked close to there once and was met by a truck full of yahoos(scary dudes wearing black) telling me to stay at least a mile away from the 7 layer barbed wire fences surrounding that part of the mountain. Oh, yeah, I had a high power hunting rifle with me at the time.

So far I haven't started glowing yet so I guess the nukes are still there in one piece. Peace

Damn, John...the way you told that story, I felt like I could it happening before my eyes. Here's to many more years of not glowing.

Gives you warm fuzzies how the people in charge of these things can "lose" them.

In 2007, six nuclear armed cruise missiles, each ten times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb were "accidentally" loaded on a B-52 in North Dakota and flown to Louisiana. They were left unguarded for over 20 hours. Interesting.

When Robert Oppenheimer first saw the explosion of an atomic bomb, he was supposed to have quoted Krisha from the Bhagavad Gita, "Now I am become death, the Shattered of Worlds".
