This is yet another example of how difficult it is for a nuclear warhead to be accidentally detonated.

"I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of nuclear or special weapons at this facility." Yeah, I remember that script. But every tech wore dosimeters.

Glad those communications were secure...

I was in the command post that day. The crew on duty and maintenance team were friends of mine. The incident was triggered by the maintenance crew dropped a huge tool from level one (of eight) the tool bounced off the siÄșo wall and struck the stage one fuel tank. The tank was breached releasing 100,000 gallons hydrazine. The fumes were subsequently ignited.

I remember hearing about it. I was about 7 or 8 when it happened. It stuck in my mind because highway 65 through Damascus is the highway we took every Friday evening from Little Rock to grandma's house up in the Ozarks (actually Boston mountains in north Arkansas). My dad would always point toward a little side road with a gate on it that leads out to "nowhere". When we would pass by it, he would always say, "Down that road is where the nuke nearly went off back in '80."
I supposed it was something big & important & dangerous but as a kid you just can't get how bad things could have gone. Of course it was bad enough, but it could have been exponentially worse.
I believe PBS has a documentary about it that I saw a couple years ago on one of the streaming platforms.
FYI: Damascus, Arkansas is a notorious speed trap zone on highway 65. It drops from 65 mph to 45 mph with barely any warning. So, heads up going through there. đ

The sheriff mentioned in this video was a good and smart sheriff. He was a good sheriff because he used his smarts to figure out how to get all the information he could to help him decide how best to protect the county residents he was responsible for.

Great documentary on this event called Command and Control (2016). Definitely worth the watch if you find this interesting.

"After this the town of Damaskus had a vote for renaming themselves Damocles"

Wow! Wouldn't even tell the vice president of the USA! I had to look it up, very interesting, a wrench socket was accidently dropped 80 feet and pierced the skin of the weapon, but, it didn't explode right away, it leaked until it built up pressure for a day. One person died and over 40 were injured. The cost was hundreds of millions to fix, and policies were changed after that. It was the second accident on the same site! The first one was 1978!

I was working in the unit next to the ICU where the victims were transferred from the ER. It wasnât until I saw the movie Chernobyl that I understood how close we in the hospital had come to that same moment. We had no decontamination area, no protocols, no personal protective devices, nothing to protect anyone from the entrance to the ER down the halls and to the intensive care areas. No one knew whether or not if the warhead had remained intact until days later.

We, my ex-wife and former in-laws, were 8 miles away in a camping trailer when that happened. The flash and blast woke all of us up. He, a former Korean war veteran, pilot thought it was an attack at first. But, with no follow-up explosions and radio reported, the accidental nature.OBTW, I was a USAF Security Policeman stationed at a base guarding Minuteman ICBM.

I went to the last Titan Silo recently and saw the missile still resting. Chilling to admire

PBS has an amazing documentary that has a great timeline explaining all the events leading up to the crisis moment. I often use it as a teaching tool to remind young workers the importance of speaking up and admitting mistakes. Great synopsis.

Imagine having to tell the Vice President of the United States "No".

It should be noted that itâs basically impossible to set off a nuclear warhead unintentionally.

This is stunning to me. How could I have missed ever reading/hearing about this?

Glad TMZ didnât get those communications đ

âAm I, the vice president, going to die from radiation on my trip?â

Reminder that Hypergolics are no joke in general. Thereâs a reason most missiles are jet or solid fueled now
