In August of 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world’s first successful Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). It was capable of delivering a heavy nuclear warhead to a target six thousand miles away, in under half an hour. The West was left scrambling for a solution. From what U.S. Intelligence could gather, the Soviets were quickly pulling ahead in developing missile technology. Projections showed that by the 1960s, the Soviets would likely have enough missiles to launch a preemptive nuclear attack. America needed a way fill this perceived ‘missile gap’.
Operation Chrome Dome would be the solution. Between 1960 and 1968, B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber aircraft armed with thermonuclear weapons were kept airborne around the clock, day in and day out. Chrome Dome would send a powerful message to the Soviet Union that America was ready to respond, and help keep the scales of nuclear power balanced. Flying to points along the Soviet border, Chrome Dome missions would be as long as 24-hours each, pushing flight crews and B-52 aircraft to their limit. It was an extraordinary feat of logistics, requiring the support of aerial refueling aircraft, and a large number of ground base support personnel. The program would also come at a cost.
There were 5 major accidents involving B-52 aircraft flying Operation Chrome Dome missions. The first came early into the program, when in 1961, two nuclear bombs fell back to earth near Goldsboro, North Carolina. Information declassified in 2013 suggests that one of the bombs came very close to detonating. The next incident occurred just a few months later near Yuba City, California when another two nukes were lost in a crash. There would be yet another incident 1964 in Savage Mountain, Maryland. In all of these incidents, 6 nuclear bombs crashed back to earth and were eventually recovered without much in the way of consequences. Neither their conventional nor nuclear explosives detonated.
But another two incidents would put the program into an entirely different light. In 1966, four nukes came crashing back to earth over Palomares, Spain. This time, two of them detonated their conventional explosives, leaving five square kilometers of Spanish countryside contaminated with radioactive plutonium. It was the worst nuclear accident of its time. Although Chrome Dome was scaled down as a result, there would be yet another accident in Thule, Greenland in 1968. Four nuclear bombs detonated their conventional explosives, spreading contamination over a large area. This final incident put an immediate end to all Operation Chrome Dome Missions.
During the course of the eight-year long ambitious cold-war operation, America accidentally dropped 14 nuclear bombs. But Operation Chrome Dome also helped maintain the delicate balance of power between America and the Soviet Union, and the program might have prevented nuclear war.

This isn't all of the incidents.

There's a reason so many safety checks and restrictions on nuke transport and storage are now in place.

I was born and raised in Goldsboro, North Carolina and this is a story that gets told often, there's even a local legend that one of the nukes is still buried in a nearby swamp. The funny thing is, if it wasn't for the Air Force base, that's still active some sixty plus years later, the city would have probably disappeared, because it was just a small rest stop of a town before the base was established. The only other thing our town is know for is that Andy Griffith taught English at Goldsboro High School for a brief period of time.

The bomb detonated it's conventional explosives, but due to components required for thermonuclear detonation, crucially not being fitted to the bomb, no nuclear reaction occurred. That said, apart from one grazing cow being killed by the explosion, top soil from the farmland the bomb fell into had to be removed as part of decontamination efforts.

@@GuinessOriginal I'm from Spain, and more precisely my home city is Alicante, to be exact the dots are marked almost exactly on Elche instead of Alicante, is another few kms to the south.

[@GuinessOriginal]

CADesigner lol OK you know better then me, although at the scale of that map that dot is several km wide. Glad I wasn't too far off the mark. Shame they didn't drop them on benidorm really

[@reggiesm4460]

imagine opening your door on a monday morning to find a thermonuclear bomb

Nice! I was just reading about this as this video was uploaded!

Awesome video! Although i wish you would've gone into more detail as to how exactly these bombs got dropped accidentally. Yes, 24 hour flights are hard on an airplane, but what has to go wrong for a bomb to be dropped

[@mistertagnan]

It says in the video. Structural failure, uncontrolled decompression and fuel starvation, structural failure, mid-air collision, and a fire onboard

[@benhanpeter4790]

Read Command and Control by Eric Schlosser. It covers all these accidents in detail and goes into how the bombs were designed to prevent accidental detonations (though they weren't nearly as safe as one would hope...)

[@NotABushFan1]

The one in Spain during air refueling the B52 and its KC135 made collected, killing the crew of the KC135 and killing four of the six in B52.

There’s something nice about old television

[@blockraven22]

I lived in Marysville, which is next to Yuba City as a kid and never learned about this lol.

[@chaseta9307]

Always making great content. F-35 controversy next?

[@Sultan-cf5wf]

f35 is terrible awful jet compared to ones it is supposed to "phase out"

[@DrWhom]

too soon, would be too contentious, and the operational history is not yet long enough mind you, the F22 got mothballed before it even accumulated any semblance of an operational history

[@PrimusInvictus]

@@DrWhom can u elaborate on what you mean with the F22? I'm interested

[@larsbredereke3856]

I'm always wondering how many hours these animations took. But they're definitely worth the effort 👍

[@joaquinandreu8530]

You have placed Palomares in the Alicante province. It is actually in the province of Almeria, 160 km south of your marker

[@user-ns5bs8hs2i]

i can vouch for the third drop accident i live near there and i sometimes drive past the plaque they have set up there also side note both pilots died they froze in the winter

[@yesyeswe]

Closed incognito as soon as i got the notification

@OptimalOptimus50 watch and wank tbh i do that too

[@kirioes]

Imagine the feeling the crew had when they realized a bomb dropped on their own country

“What was that sound honey?” “Just another nuke dropping onto our lawn”

They also dropped two bombs in Spain where I live.

Next level clickbait, don't act like the title didn't make you think of mass casualty events. You sir, are a genius.
