While the U.S. has historically been at least semi-transparent about its nuclear mess-ups, other nations have been much more secretive. We know very little if anything at all about their nuclear programs, and almost nothing of any mishaps. It’s extremely likely that we don’t have a full account of every broken arrow. The idea that there are missing weapons capable of killing millions of people hiding somewhere beneath the ocean is chilling, to say the least.

    Well, like you said we don't have a clue about what Russia or China have lost. One thing for sure: If you don't have Nukes they will come over here and you will be nonexistent. So stop wringing your hands. If you don't have nuclear weapons you are dead!

    Was that first a military airplane?? They never should have dropped the bomb. If they crash and die, it's part of their job, but they could probably have had a softer crash than dropping the bomb 9,000 feet! Rear end of donkeys!

    My great-grandfather was the first person put in charge of America's burgeoning Nuclear weapons arsenal. At one point in his career, a bomb was lost over Japanese waters, and he and his wife (His wife not knowing the nature of their visit.) had to spend several years undercover in Japan to make sure Japanese authorities hadn't gotten a hold of it. It was declassified shortly after he died, so my father grandmother didn't know until a few years before I was born. It's weird to think about sometimes. He also knew the nature of some of the Area-51 tests, but those haven't been unclassified.

    I typically respect your channel, but ALL yall content creators need to fucking stop with these ridiculous and shitty titles like this.. Like you're just profiting off human fear & just what road do you think that will take you on? that WE are all apart of?

    Why’d they have to fly around with live warheads for training missions?? Couldn’t they just have used weights to simulate the weapons being on board?

    MAD could have never happened but it has, but broken arrows are a problem because if the capsule disintigrates the ones in the ocean will release the plutonium and uranium

    So to show a dude on the other side of the world that you have a big bolt with some big nuts, you endanger your own people and loved ones with letting it swing over their heads.
    Screw you. Rust in hel. All those who think this is the way to go.

    This made me think about stuff like… what if countries like russia or us have atomic bombs planted underneath evrry city. So if anything happens.. like.. idk zombies? Or whatever, pretty unrealistic.. but if that happens, they can just detonate these bombs underneath these cities and obliterate everything.
