Broken Arrow: The Time We Almost Nuked South Carolina

In our history, we’ve had at least 32 “Broken Arrow” incidents: instances of nuclear weapons accidents that don’t cause a nuclear war. One of those was in 1958, in which an Air Force B-47 Bomber almost nuked Mars Bluff, South Carolina. In this episode, we talk about the B-47, it’s staggering 10% loss rate and the Mars Bluff incident. Then we catch up with actor and podcaster Michael Spedden for the Quick Quiz!
