    It was completely an accident, the bomb didn't detonate because of a tree.
    Said tree is now a landmark I believe.

    That tree obviously hasn't seen the horrors logging mills and forest industry, or it may have had second thoughts on holding that bomb

    That must be a calmly chaotic sight, like "Here's a nuclear bomb hanging off a tree that could go off and blow away the entire city or not"
    lmao

    AFAIK, a lot of nukes will not actually detonate from an impact, they need to have a smaller charge inside electrically detonated to actually set the rest of the bomb off.
    still scary when you realise the amount of incompetence with something so powerful.

    Yeah, they actually use altitude sensors to detonate the charge, so I'm happily surprised that it hasn't gone off, cause alot would have to fail for it to not have gone off...

    It was done in the 60's, I don't think they were that advanced.

    I have decided to junk my Mustang race car as it had some heavy frame damage that I did not anticipate.

    Please stand by as a new Enduro vehicle will be announced.

    No, they didn't.






    They dropped two: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1961_Goldsboro_B-52_crash

    And while we're being pedantic, the bomb's parachute was strung around the tree, but wasn't supporting its full weight. Both had several countermeasures to prevent accidental misfires and weren't particularly sensitive to shock or impacts, yet both were very, very close to detonating.
