US army loses 6 nukes for 3.5 hours
I don't know what to think.
I want to believe it was an accident and not an orchestrated political event, but how on earth can something like this happen.
You can't just drive a forklift into a nuke bunker, pick up a crate of nukes unknowingly and unchallenged, and load them into a plane without anyone even knowing that 6 nukes were gone.
They didn't even know they were gone until the receiving party asked them why the hell 6 nukes arrived unanounced and unsecured. Talk about shit hitting the fan.
I have done projects in a nuclear fuel manufacturing plant and the amount of red tape and security procedures was huge. And that was just raw non weapons grade fuel.
For handling live nukes, I can only imagine...
One thing is for sure: a lot of heads will roll. And this investigation would probably make the inquisition proud.
Hopefully the results of the investigation will be made public.
