Ivan on one side… and now, “possibly found” elderly waterlogged hydrogen bombs on the other. Cool. I’ll just go hide in the cellar now. Somebody please come let me out in time for the election.
Didn’t the US Airforce lose a nuclear missle or bomb off of Spain, in the sixties? Don’t know if it was recovered or not. That is one story that I kind of remember also.
About 8 months ago my wife and I were out on Tybee Island where the bomb has been found. I was lucky and collected some sand dollars. I took them home dried them out and now they decorate a windowsill in my kitchen. After I read that story I looked at the sand dollars and wondered if I now have a decorative radition source in my kitchen!!
Remember that episode of Lassie, where Timmy found the radioactive thing, and the government people came looking for it, and he pretended he hadn’t been exposed to the radiation?
“Oh! Sorry, Lassie, I misunderstood, you. Timmy has a cyst!”
Err… I don’t remember. I last saw it when I was still in grade school, and they used to run Lassie reruns on OETA. Hmm… OETA is the educational channel… I wonder how Lassie reruns are educational. They teach you not to play with radioactive materials?
