  1. The History Guy: Five Minutes of History >>> Can you do a vid on the 1961 North Carolina event? I've lived in N.E. NC since 1995, and I was stunned when I first learned about that B-52 crash in January of 1961. {FWIW: I was born in Florida the same month & year}. As I understand it, some radioactive[?] parts of the one nuke that 'augured into the ground' were left in place - buried in the ground - because the ground water level made it impossible to dig down that estimated [?] 180 feet to where the parts came to rest. I've always wondered IF radioactive parts were STILL in the ground, wouldn't there be DANGER of ground water contamination?

  2. Helium Road >>> I just posted a reply to "The History Guy" in this thread before I read your comment. I have never been clear on exactly WHAT PARTS of the warhead were left in the ground? If radioactive, wouldn't that eventually contaminate the local groundwater?
