Episode: In 1961, nuclear bombs fell from crashing plane but didn’t detonate
Description: In 1961, a B-52 Bomber bound for the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base crashed in Wayne County. It was carrying two nuclear bombs which fell into the wetlands there. Amazingly, they did not detonate. Most of the evidence of the nuclear bombs has been removed from the site…but they didn’t get all of it. And many people remember the day as the day their world almost changed forever. Hidden History reporter Heather Leah explains what happened and what is there now.
