Broken Arrows: The Lost Bombs of the Cold War

Broken Arrows: The Lost Bombs of the Cold War

Four nuclear accidents, four stains on the history of the Cold War. These four forgotten names, Mount Kologet, Goldsboro, Palomares, Thule, represent events that have stayed hidden for years behind the veil of official secrecy. Newly published files show how the relentless standoff between two nuclear superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, once led us to the brink of obliteration.

    1. The 1950's

    On 14 February 1950, a Convair B-36B plane crashed in northern British Colombia after jettisoning a Mark 4 nuclear bomb. This was the first such nuclear weapon loss in history. The Goldsboro B-52 crash was similar. Information newly declassified in 2013 showed that one of the bombs came very close to detonating which would have irreparably changed the North Carolina coastline.

    The 1966 Palomares B-52 crash occurred on 17 January 1966, when a B-52G bomber and a KC-135 tanker collided. The damage and radiation still exists to this day. In 1968 a B-52 bomber near Thule Air Base in Greenland crashed onto sea ice in North Star Bay.
