"A B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with at least five nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air ***** Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air ***** Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air *****-wide investigation, according to three officers who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.
The B-52 was loaded with Advanced Cruise Missiles, part of a Defense Department effort to decommission 400 of the ACMs. But the nuclear warheads should have been removed at Minot before being transported to Barksdale, the officers said. The missiles were mounted onto the pylons of the bomber's wings.
Advanced Cruise Missiles carry a W80-1 warhead with a yield of 5 to 150 kilotons and are specifically designed for delivery by B-52 strategic bombers."
Somebody gonna be in trouble lol.
