Close Call The 1961 Goldsboro B 52 Crash and the USA’s Near Nuclear Disaster
Title: “Close Call: The 1961 Goldsboro B-52 Crash and the USA’s Near-Nuclear Disaster“
In 1961, during the height of the Cold War, a chilling incident almost resulted in the accidental detonation of two nuclear bombs over the United States. A B-52 bomber carrying two Mark 39 nuclear weapons broke apart in mid-air near Goldsboro, North Carolina.
One of the bombs fell into a field, and the other plunged into a muddy swamp. Only through a combination of safety mechanisms and sheer luck did a full-scale nuclear explosion narrowly avoid occurring. This harrowing event serves as a stark reminder of the perils associated with nuclear arsenals and the vital importance of safety protocols in managing such devastating weaponry.
