USA: We put six nukes on a plane by accident

I would have thought that there would be mountains of paperwork and red tape to transport nuclear arms.
Something like you can't put them on an aircraft without having confirmed authorisation to do so. Or the person who is in charge of guarding them won't allow them to be moved without the person taking them having confirmed permission.

How they can accidentally put them on an aircraft is beyond me :rolleyes:
 
Why would they go to the media about that? Surely they are purposefully making themselves look incompetent?

Six nuclear weapons, accidently mounted for combat readiness on a plane, complete non-news? You realize that nuclear arms and usage are the biggest cause for concern in today's world? These bombs are several times more powerful than the ones dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima!
 
Why is it no concern for the American Public. Do they not know anyhting of winds, dust, etc etc it will affect the globe and us if it did go bang or leak.

Also airspace where ever and whom ever you are is international no matter what. So they are half wrong in what they said.

Piolt must be thick or blind! How did he not see them being fitted or see they had been when he has to walk around the plane for a pre flight check.

See this is what happens when you let yanks get carryed away!

Last year in Plymouth the lost 18 tip nuke Tommahawks. They come from the munitons dump in Saltash and go to HMS DML. The wrong ones had been pulled for use. It was an american op that moved the 18 of them and again went back to get a set.

LOL

:confused: What are you on about??. If its doubtful it even happened then i guess what your trying to say is that the BBC is making it up ie the story??. If so thats the first time ive heard about the BBC doing such a thing. Would like to see some proof that you actually think its doubtful it happened.

Quite shocking that the Americans didnt realise they had 6 nukes on a plane flying across America:eek:.

I dont believe hardly anything in the news these days Im afraid, its riddled with propoganda and stories to support such.

I find it very hard to believe that one nuke would be put on a plane like that, let alone six, and im supposed to believe it happened because the BBC said so? ye right, like they havent lied blatently in the past.

I think someone is a little paranoid. Facts etc get mixed up now and again but I don't believe the BBC deliberately deceives or doesn't check it's sources before it reports stories. Tbh if you can't believe the beeb who can you believe?

and if one was going on I'd think it's just as likely that six would.

maybe not a serious, but a prime example of what the bbc will do, getting as bad as sky news or ch5 tbh

hmm as far as I was aware with that example they just edited some clips together in the 'wrong' order which made it look like something had happened. They didn't explicitly say something that wasn't true. Also I'd considered news reporting and programmes on the BBC as slightly different, run by different people, with probably different procedures in place.

Funny how the "clips in the wrong order" would have potentially been a massive story for them.

I dont buy half of the BBC say about anything sadly :(

Im not directly calling them liars as such, Its just my cynical personality i suppose :(
