Lost Nuclear bombs!

[Jordanv78 20]

Hey guys just thought that I would try to post some things that might get people talking on here. I thought that this might be kind of interesting. God those things are like ticking timebombs!

 

Did you know?

 

 

Nuclear terms

 

Nuceflash: any accidental or unauthorised incident involving a possible detonation of a nuclear weapon.

 

Broken Arrow: the seizure, theft, or loss of a nuclear weapon or component.

 

Bent Spear: any significant nuclear weapon incidents other than accidents or war risk detonations.

 

Dull Sword: a nuclear weapon incident other than "significant" incidents.

 

Faded Giant: any nuclear reactor or radiological accidents involving equipment used or in custody of the Navy.

 

When bombs started falling in Belgrade in 1999, most of the pregnant animals in the zoo aborted their young or delivered prematurely. The bombs hit out power and water supplies, leaving the sea lions and polar bears to suffer from exposure. Prince, a 300kg (660 lb) Bengal tiger was so disturbed that he began chewing off his own paws.

War is not healthy for children and other living beings.

Nuclear Submarine Accidents

 

Calendar of Nuclear Accidents

There are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at sea

 

The very first bomb that the Allies dropped on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo, it is said. The NATO attack on Serbia in 1999 (the Kosovo war) killed more animals than people. "Smart" weapons, such the Tomahawk missile is supposed to hit a postage stamp at 300km or more (200 miles or more). But only two out of thirteen actually hit the target. One skimmed over the house of a small farmer a few kilometres (miles) off target, straight up a track, through bushes, and exploded in the farmer's field, killing seven sheep, one cow and a goat. The farmer kept the missile nosecone as a souvenir.

 

To err is human. To really mess things up you need a computer

On 5 October 1960 an early-warning system warned the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) of a massive Soviet nuclear missile strike approaching the United States. What happened is that a fault in a computer system had removed two zeros from the radar's ranging components, detecting the missile attack at 4 000km (2,500 miles) away. The radar was actually detecting a reflection from the moon, located 400 000km (250,000 miles) away.

 

 

Nuclear bomb - man's worst invention

On 3 June 1980 a massive Soviet missile attack was again registered by computers. 100 nuclear-armed B-52s were immediately put on alert. A computer fault was detected in time, but three days later the same error occurred and again the bombers were put on alert. The problem was later traced to the failure of an integrated circuit in a computer, which was producing random digits representing the number of missiles detected.

 

On 10 January 1984, Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming, recorded a message that one of its Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles was about to launch from its silo due to a computer malfunction. To prevent the possible launch, an armoured car was parked on top of the silo.

 

The history of nuclear weapon accidents is as old as their introduction

The US Department of Defence (DoD) first published a list of nuclear weapon accidents in 1968 which detailed 13 serious nuclear weapon accidents between 1950-1968. An updated list released in 1980 catalogued 32 accidents. At the same time, documents released by the Navy under the Freedom of Information Act cited 381 nuclear weapon incidents between 1965 and 1977.

 

A number of nuclear cases involve ships or submarines colliding at sea or, in some cases, submarine nuclear power units becoming unstable and the subs having to be abandoned. According to Greenpeace there have been more than 120 submarine accidents since 1956. The most recent incident, in August 2000, was the loss of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk in the Barents Sea. The Kursk is the seventh nuclear submarine lost, five of them Russian, two American. There are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at sea.

Very nice! I thought I was the only person who was interested in this kind of stuff! Cool I can accualy debate with someone from now on :)

[Jordanv78 20]

I try to debate with a lot of people on the site, but most people do not want to take me on.

[Kenshyn 638]

Because you always win? :P

[Jordanv78 20]

because most of the things I try to debate about, people have no knowlage of.

[Poply 178]

-moved to serious discussion.

 

am i the only one who debates with jordan? (on the topic of video games)

anyways, nuclear bombs are defintaley bad, but not going away anytime soon. but last i heard, we (USA) havent made a nuke in like 40 years.

:cookie?: jkjk rofl nukes ehhh sounds bad wanna know somthing funny whats his face still in iraq and told all of his ppl on NATIONAL tv to get out of all major citys because he smuggled nukes over the mexican border :P and with my luck i live in dallas

[Jordanv78 20]

I would say that I am sure that the USA has made nukes. They have them buried deep in the continent. If an attack ever happens you might be amazed where they are, and how powerful they are. The whole rocky mountains will probably slide back and fire nukes...

[Poply 178]

that's one of the benefits of living in the U.S.

[Jordanv78 20]

I would have to agree.

 

The problem with the lost nukes is...as we all know, salt-water is corrosive...what is going to happen when they explode from rust or whatever

I would feel bad for who every is chillin around them when they do lol...

[Jordanv78 20]

so many things would get messed up if and when one of them goes off. It should be a huge priority to try and find them and recover them before something really bad happens.

It is nice to see Intelligent Threads on this forum

 

As far as Nukes go. There are so many countries now that have them...And I am sure that the US has been producing them. I mean just look at the number of nuclear subs we have now.

[Major Zhuinden 128]

Yes, Iraq had them, especially when US wanted to get some oil. Of course, they haven't been found yet.

 

Anyways, I'm so uninterested in the nuke stuff that I didn't read the first post. Really. But I still find the Hydrogenic Fusion Bomb cool, and not only because it is a hungarian invention.

 

Oh, and the USA has way more stuff than they say. All the stuff that are introduced for new things (like the 1-milimeter sized robots that can scan your veins) most likely existed before they introduced them for medical purposes. When they do that, they get something that is more advanced and more lethal. (With 1 milimeter sized robots you can easily get poison into someone and no one will notice.)

whats the point of making something that will just destroy everything? everyone loses and yet... because of the issue of trust theyll never be disarmed... i wonder if a nuke will randomly go off near another nuke and then set off a chain reaction... thats actually a pretty good way for a terrorist to blow the world to hell actually uh oh... nsa could be monitoring the site lol
