    In August of 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world’s first successful Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). It was capable of delivering a heavy nuclear warhead to a target six thousand miles away, in under half an hour. The West was left scrambling for a solution. From what U.S. Intelligence could gather, the Soviets were quickly pulling ahead in developing missile technology. Projections showed that by the 1960s, the Soviets would likely have enough missiles to launch a preemptive nuclear attack. America needed a way fill this perceived ‘missile gap’.
    Operation Chrome Dome would be the solution. Between 1960 and 1968, B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber aircraft armed with thermonuclear weapons were kept airborne around the clock, day in and day out. Chrome Dome would send a powerful message to the Soviet Union that America was ready to respond, and help keep the scales of nuclear power balanced. Flying to points along the Soviet border, Chrome Dome missions would be as long as 24-hours each, pushing flight crews and B-52 aircraft to their limit. It was an extraordinary feat of logistics, requiring the support of aerial refueling aircraft, and a large number of ground base support personnel. The program would also come at a cost.
    There were 5 major accidents involving B-52 aircraft flying Operation Chrome Dome missions. The first came early into the program, when in 1961, two nuclear bombs fell back to earth near Goldsboro, North Carolina. Information declassified in 2013 suggests that one of the bombs came very close to detonating. The next incident occurred just a few months later near Yuba City, California when another two nukes were lost in a crash. There would be yet another incident 1964 in Savage Mountain, Maryland. In all of these incidents, 6 nuclear bombs crashed back to earth and were eventually recovered without much in the way of consequences. Neither their conventional nor nuclear explosives detonated.
    But another two incidents would put the program into an entirely different light. In 1966, four nukes came crashing back to earth over Palomares, Spain. This time, two of them detonated their conventional explosives, leaving five square kilometers of Spanish countryside contaminated with radioactive plutonium. It was the worst nuclear accident of its time. Although Chrome Dome was scaled down as a result, there would be yet another accident in Thule, Greenland in 1968. Four nuclear bombs detonated their conventional explosives, spreading contamination over a large area. This final incident put an immediate end to all Operation Chrome Dome Missions.
    During the course of the eight-year long ambitious cold-war operation, America accidentally dropped 14 nuclear bombs. But Operation Chrome Dome also helped maintain the delicate balance of power between America and the Soviet Union, and the program might have prevented nuclear war.

      This isn't all of the incidents. They left off a B-36 crash with a nuke in British Columbia, Canada in the late 40s or 50s, and also a couple of 50s B-47 Stratojet accidents (one of them crash-landed in Britain at an RAF base and nearly collided with a nuke storage area, which could have been a widescale catastrophe). There's a reason so many safety checks and restrictions on nuke transport and storage are now in place.

    I was born and raised in Goldsboro, North Carolina and this is a story that gets told often, there's even a local legend that one of the nukes is still buried in a nearby swamp. The funny thing is, if it wasn't for the Air Force base, that's still active some sixty plus years later, the city would have probably disappeared, because it was just a small rest stop of a town before the base was established. The only other thing our town is know for is that Andy Griffith taught English at Goldsboro High School for a brief period of time.

    Although not part of Operation Chrome Dome, there was another broken arrow incident where in 1957, a B-36 was flying between El Paso, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico accidentally dropped a mk17 Thermonuclear Bomb just prior to landing. The bomb detonated it's conventional explosives, but due to components required for thermonuclear detonation, crucially not being fitted to the bomb, no nuclear reaction occurred. That said, apart from one grazing cow being killed by the explosion, top soil from the farmland the bomb fell into had to be removed as part of decontamination efforts. The incident was classified until the 1980's

    This begs the question: How many nukes did the Soviets accidentally drop?

    I was in Thule (pronounced TOO-lee, not THOOL, as this narrator pronounces it) in January 1968 when the B-52 crashed. I was in my barracks listening to a Rolling Stones album in my earphones when my chair moved. That thing crashed on the ice seven miles away and it still jolted us on the air base. I volunteered to go out on the ice the next day to build pre-fab shacks with kerosene heaters for the SAC guys who were coming in for the cleanup. I spent two days out there. Tense times.

      Our B52 from K.I. Sawyer was just arriving to thane this plan’s place when it went down. They tried to help find the. Location beacons. However, many of the crew panicked and left them on all the time and the batteries wore out due to the cold. Many could not get in their sleeping bags fast enough. Lots of remedial training soon after.
