there just shouldnt have been a mistake. these werent just bombs. they were NUCLEAR. a light should have gone off for someone, somewhere, to ask "uh, why are we flying these to Louisiana?"

this truly makes me nervous. what mistakes have been made that we dont know about??

My 2 fave lines from the article

... but the Air Force on Wednesday said the flight never threatened public safety.



yeah...ok....


and then

"All evidence we have seen so far points to an isolated mistake," Thomas said.

which confirms... "Oops my bad!"

I KNOW! And with that extensive history of bombs just falling right off of planes, God . . . I just shudder to think.

You guys are just as funny as the the DoD. When I first heard about this my initial thoughts were how..did..this..."mistakenly"...happen. I mean, think about it.
-Nukes are kept in undisclosed locations under STRICT lock and key. They aren't just laying around with other munitions. Plus they are marked diff as well, so I find it hard to believe that some airman mistakenly did this by himself.
-Nukes are always being transported - How do you think they get to Minot to begin with? The strange thing is, the DoD never talks about the transportation of nuclear warheads, so whats with plastering this all over the news now?
-Lastly, isn't this interesting that this happens a week after Russia resumes their long range bomber flights?
