Lost Nuclear Bomb Found Off Georgia Coast?
securitas writes "Both CNN and ABC News report that a hydrogen thermonuclear bomb lost off the Georgia coast in 1958 may have been found. The 'Mark 15, Mod 0' nuclear bomb was jettisoned into the Atlantic Ocean off Savannah after a B-47 bomber and an F-86 fighter collided in mid-air. 'The 7,600-pound, 12-foot-long thermonuclear bomb contained 400 pounds of high explosives as well as uranium' and it was found off Tybee Island by retired Air Force Lt. Colonel Derek Duke,, who said that radiation levels were from seven to 10 times higher than normal. If it is the bomb that Duke has found, the question now is what, if anything, should be done with it?"
Clearly someone tried to nuke the whales, and then covered it up!

Fishing is good around that thing...
Look it's a GIANT TUNA! And it glows in the dark. And has 3 eyes.
On the one hand, a recovery would be expensive, dangerous, and probably unnecessary. On the other hand, if we leave it there... the terrorists win.
Love the Third Amendment?
AHA! THAT'S where Saddam hid it.
If it is the bomb that Duke has found, the question now is what, if anything, should be done with it?
Utah would be a good spot.

LICK IT! LICK IT!
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
A nuclear bomb (e.g. Hiroshima) works by fission. A hydrogen bomb works by fusion, but needs a nuclear bomb to trigger it.
Any idea how a nucular bomb works?
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
maybe a little offtopic, but does it scare anyone else how much these cats know about nuclear explosives and such?
you can't have everything, where would you put it?
Yeah, you drop it out of your airplane with a guy riding it waving his cowboy hat around. It then goes boom.
