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.

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
I grew up in Goldsboro and only found out about this as an adult. Could’ve been an epic class-action lawsuit. “Seeking claims for physical and emotional damages including involuntary vaporization and fear of being under the sky.”

Love your videos! We were a Cold War SAC family, Dad was a B52 RN. Just a quick correction, a B52 crew is trained to have our birds off the ground in 10 mins even to this day. Enough time to get our crews in the air before a missile strike. The motto at all SAC bases was "Peace is our profession"
The sometimes-obscure history aspect of your content keeps me coming back. I look forward to each of your videos. Wondering if you’ve ever considered doing something on the air races of the 1920’s. Some interesting stories from back then with countries competing for superiority in speed all while flying some amazing looking machines.
Awesome video! Although i wish you would've gone into more detail as to how exactly these bombs got dropped accidentally. Yes, 24 hour flights are hard on an airplane, but what has to go wrong for a bomb to be dropped
Read Command and Control by Eric Schlosser. It covers all these accidents in detail and goes into how the bombs were designed to prevent accidental detonations (though they weren't nearly as safe as one would hope...)
too soon, would be too contentious, and the operational history is not yet long enough mind you, the F22 got mothballed before it even accumulated any semblance of an operational history
Now THIS would also make an amazing HBO miniseries, now that Chernobyl has ended. An honest overview of Operation Chrome Dome, and going into the mentality of the US military about this operation, the stress it put on pilots and the accidents that derived from such a massive undertaking

Love your videos. This is the only one where I feel like you could have gone into more detail. I wish you had gone through the mechanisms that prevented the bombs from detonating their nuclear payloads.
So I have a question. It is stated that the Soviet Union throughout its history , never had a nuclear bomb incident like this , where they dropped them accidently. They had their fair share of nuclear disasters , but never dropped Nukes on its allies. Is it true or is it propaganda. if it did happen , when and where and why?
But that single safety switch did exactly what it was supposed to do. They knew what they were doing when they designed them things. That not a single one of those atomics went off is a sign of just how seriously they took their jobs.
It would still suck to have a bomb accidentally landing in your backyard. At least if you were at ground zero for an explosion, chances were that you would never know.
The thing you didn't mention about the R7 is that it took awhile to get going. If the USSR wanted to launch an attack on the U.S. the missile still had to be fueled, thus making it a target while still on the pad. This is why modern ICBMs are usually powered by solid rocket motors. Solids can sit in their silos for long ammounts of time, gassed and ready to go as soon as they're needed.
.....grrrr there's always something I mess up. RUclips really needs to implement a method to let me go back and fix things . Least it's not as bad as when I pronounced Dassault wrong 300 times in one video =p

It is stated that the Soviet Union throughout its history , never had a nuclear bomb incident like this , where they dropped them accidently. They had their fair share of nuclear disasters , but never dropped Nukes on its allies. Is it true or is it propaganda. if it did happen , when and where and why?
They also dropped two bombs in Spain where I live.
usa: the only country to drop nukes on another country
also usa: the only country to drop nukes on itself
Nice Pollution America :)

Mustard: "This video was made possible..."
Me: by CuriosityStream?
Mustard: ".... by Dashlane"
Me: (surprised pikachu face)

Hey, we share a birthday! Somehow I missed this by a day though...
America: Ooops, butter fingers!
*OUTSTANDING MOVE*
you uploaded this on my birthday! thank you so much!
But that single safety switch did exactly what it was supposed to do. They knew what they were doing when they designed them things. That not a single one of those atomics went off is a sign of just how seriously they took their jobs.
There were three safety switches and only one worked so I wouldn't say that veverything worked as it was supposed to do".
@@qdaniele97 All that was needed was one.
It would still suck to have a bomb accidentally landing in your backyard. At least if you were at ground zero for an explosion, chances were that you would never know.
@@qdaniele97 The decision to not stop at only 1 redundancy is it.
The conventional explosives still detonated and contaminated the area.
They could have kept the nukes safe if they just had used Dashlane.
Lmaooooo
Or north VPN
This begs the question: How many nukes did the Soviets accidentally drop?
not what "begs the question" means. Look up: petitio principii

NO, NO IT DOES NOT. IT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH BULLSHIT AND CRAPPY BEAUROCRACY THERE IS IN THE USA. WHETER THEY HID IT OR NOT, THEY DIDNT GIVE A SHIT.
The thing you didn't mention about the R7 is that it took awhile to get going. If the USSR wanted to launch an attack on the U.S. the missile still had to be fueled, thus making it a target while still on the pad. This is why modern ICBMs are usually powered by solid rocket motors. Solids can sit in their silos for long ammounts of time, gassed and ready to go as soon as they're needed.
It's so nice to listen to the history

Excellent Video! Only thing is that Thule is pronounced "Too - Lee"...
.....grrrr there's always something I mess up. RUclips really needs to implement a method to let me go back and fix things . Least it's not as bad as when I pronounced Dassault wrong 300 times in one video =p
@@MustardChannel Hahaha! Don't even worry man, its the memes that make it memorable! How could any of us identify or love your content if it was always nothing but perfect?

Imagining one of the bomber crews just getting really tired and slightly leaning on the "Drop bombs button" and being like
Jeff: . . . . . .

Jeff : w what? What'd you wake me up for?
Steve: Where is bomb #3?
Jeff: oh shi-
