IF the facts come on on this one, it will be a great discussion for 'error management' and CRM topics.

However, the point needs to be made that the nukes were NOT fused and thus they were NOT armed.

Still, in the great tradition of the military, heads have and will continue to roll.

warheads yes...dangerous..not so much. i guess the public didnt want to know all those years when buffs were on airborne alert with nuclear packages ARMED and ready to vaporize the "comrades".... non issue as far as im concerned. Lets just beat the military down a bit more why dont we.
