Air Force Investigates Mistaken Transport of Nuclear Warheads

Six nuclear warheads on cruise missiles were mistakenly carried on a flight from North Dakota to Louisiana last week which prompted a major investigation. Military officials told CNN that the incident was a major breach of security rules and could not recall anything similar happening. Does this mean there may be incidents that have been forgotten? At least the consequences of this incident seem to have some benefit. When was the last time a review of procedures was done? Anyway, still puzzling.

That is a crazy article. I agree how does a military not know they put a nuclear device on a plane.

Scary that we even lose track of our own nuclear devices.
