[ RadSafe ] US B-52 'in nuclear cargo error'

[Earley, Jack N]

Here's the scary part:

"The missiles -- part of an Air Force fleet of more than 450 of their
kind -- are in the process of being retired and normally would not carry
nuclear warheads while in transit. Defense officials said the B- 52's
mission on Thursday did not include training runs, so the missiles would
not have been launched."


So if they had included training runs. . . .

You would think that if the missiles are being retired, they would be
disabled so they couldn't be mounted under the wings. That seems to fall
into the category of "failing to plan is the same as planning to fail."
