73 years ago, the U.S. Air Force dropped an atomic bomb on Canada

On November 10, 1950, at the height of the Cold War, a U.S. Air Force B-50 bomber (a development of the B-29) had an engine failure in mid-air. It happened over Canada (a NATO country), over the province of Quebec. The bomber was carrying a Mark-4 atomic bomb. However, despite the fact that the bomber had three (3) engines still running, the crew commander decided to jettison the dangerous cargo.
The atomic bomb was dropped from an altitude of 3,200 meters. It hit the river, however, the explosive material (IM) detonated and destroyed the warhead. The river was contaminated with 45 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. The detonation of the main (atomic) charge did not occur, and thank God.
However, this is not the only case of "loss" of the atomic bomb by the U.S. armed forces. There are more than 30 of them - and they lost not only atomic bombs, but also hydrogen bombs. They "dropped" them on the territory of NATO allies, and over their own territory, and just "accidentally" fell into the ocean, and four at a time. The reasons varied from actual carrier failures to "the pilot pressed the wrong button."

The case over Quebec is very telling. The bomber could have safely returned to its base. But they didn't risk it... Why risk it? You could just drop it on a neighbor, friend or ally, and then apologize..., or forget it. In case they are afraid to ask.
So all those who want to go to live in the West, especially in Canada, should realize that one day, just "accidentally", a nuclear bomb may fall from the sky on them. The media may not tell about it, insurers may not pay anything, and talking about it may be dangerous to one's health. If that health is still intact by then.

Although...Sometimes atomic bombs lost by the U.S. Air Force are found. Recently in the same Canada they found a bomb that was lost in 1950 when a B-36 bomber crashed.

(Canadian diver Sean Smiricinski discovered an object that may be a U.S. atomic bomb in the Pacific Ocean near the Haida Gwaii archipelago. It is noted that the Canadian Department of National Defense believes that the discovered object may be an American atomic bomb, which was "lost" in 1950. Then the B-36 bomber crashed on the way to the base in Texas.
Since the plane was on a secret mission, not all the details of this airplane crash were known. However, the plane had an atomic bomb on board and the flight itself was a simulation to investigate what kind of load the plane could handle.
What is known is that one of the engines caught fire during the flight, and of the 17 crew members, only 12 managed to eject.)

 

Might we inquire as to where this information came from?

 

Google will help you.

 

Okay then. I'll just report your post for failing to meet thread creation guidelines.

 

Yeah, the idea of an accidental nuke over Canada would be big news. I'll google it for us.

A lot less inflammatory(of course we have collaboration with our ally and I'm glad we're close allies, imagine otherwise) but it shows how dangerous these tests are and how one wrong hitch could bring us into unintended conflict.

 

Yeah, yeah. And don't forget to announce personal economic sanctions against me.

 

Damn...gives new meaning to the Russian disinformation members on the forum then??!!

 

So the US has a habit of flying nukes over the territory of allies without their permission and directly overhead densely populated areas?


Fascinating spin. Feel free to actually prove it.

 

So it is the radiation that is killing the polar bears?

 

There were a number of nuclear bombs lost during the cold war. One in Spain and one on the east coast of the US. During the cold war, SAC flew armed alert aircraft and occasionally one would crash with nuclear weapons on board. They no longer fly nuclear alert missions. One of the better known missions was Chrome Dome. A B-52 with nuclear weapons on board would take off from a SAC base in the US. It would fly up into Canada and orbit and then fly back to the US. The length of the mission was 24 hours and there was always at least one of these armed alert aircraft airborne.

 

On February 5, 1958, a B-47 bomber dropped a 7,600-pound nuclear bomb into waters off Tybee Island, Georgia after colliding with an F-86 fighter jet. That bomb was never found.

 

Ever heard of Maralinga? Montebello Islands? That was the British sticking it to Australia by actually detonations atomic bombs.


Sounds pretty safe due to remoteness?

It was a different time. More bombs were detonated in the US by the US than were detonated in Australia. It was a horrible mistake, but no one was picking on Australia. No nation on this earth was immune to the effects.

 

Do you read the comments? Above the American Nationalist gives a link to this fact. https://www.history.com/news/broken-arrow-first-lost-nuke-canada
And if you are capable of reading comprehension, you can follow the link and read it. Or ask someone to explain to you what is written in the article in words you can understand.

 

I beg to differ because the indigenous people were NOT evacuated and to this day the land is polluted

 

And neither were the people in Nevada and the land where the first atomic bombs were detonated are still "hot". You can visit the Trinity site in New Mexico by reservation only and your time there is limited.

 

The long term effects of decisions made are not always known. Agent Orange was used in Vietnam. It killed the vegetation and it was thought that was the end of the effect. Now they are finding that around ten percent of the veterans who served in Vietnam have Peripheral Neuropathy and other afflictions now associated with Agent Orange. That is many times the national average of people who did not serve in Vietnam.

In 2016, I was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy. That is fifty years after serving in Vietnam. I was outside at my Air Base in Vietnam when a C-123 Ranch Hand aircraft made an emergency landing. I felt this smelly liquid my bare arms and my clothes. I was told that was Agent Orange. For years I believed that the C-123 was leaking Agent Orange due to battle damage. I later found out that they intentionally dumped the Agent Orange prior to landing.

Most of us have gotten Covid vaccinations which interfere with our DNA messaging. We do not know the long term effects of that vaccination. Will something come up twenty years later and people will look back and talk about how stupid we were about the subject?

 

If you have never heard this song you should listen. All profits go to Vietnam Vets

 

Dang you’re salty! You’re usually more hopelessly bland with your responses, I like this new you, just immediately dishing out the insults and running behind the skirts of another poster to keep from having to say anything worth a damn! How refreshing!

So what’s the story? Are the rumors of Putins death true and you’re in mourning? Is Hamas getting its ass whooped in Gaza ruined your cereal?

please talk about your troubles. Cause from here it looks more like someone lost a A-bomb in your ass. Lol!!

 

They dropped a hydrogen bomb on Albuquerque also.

The song did not mean much to me. I was 28 when I served in Vietnam. I was already career Air Force and was and still am proud of my service.

However, Vietnam was a terrible waste of resources, both in terms of lives lost, lives destroyed and the monetary cost.

Sometimes bad decisions are made because of the inability to predict the long term effects.

 

I understand that all your interests revolve around ass, but you shouldn't show that in a comment. Or, is talking about ass, sex change, sexual anomalies an American trend now? And that's why you're inserting these expressions everywhere you can?

 

That all you got my little salt shaker? Must be a slow morning
