List of nuclear accidents - Wikipedia
by Acidus at 4:54 pm EDT, Sep 20, 2004

] This is a list of notable accidents involving nuclear
] material. In some cases, these incidents involve people
] being injured or killed due to the release of radioactive
] contamination. Most incidents involve accidental releases
] that have caused contamination, but had no other
] immediate effects. Some incidents only had the potential
] to release radioactive material, and are included because
] of the tensions such incidents caused (collisions between
] nuclear-powered submarines, for instance). Due to
] government and business secrecy, it is difficult to
] determine with certainty the extent of some events listed
] below or, occasionally, whether they happened at all.

From Broken Arrows to Fading Giants, and the occasional "oh shit the mass is going critical... IN MY HAND," the funny, and not so funny history of American Nuclear accidents.

They sink in the mud actually. They are very heavy.

] July 28, 1957 – A C-124 Globemaster with 3 nuclear weapons

] New Jersey; they were reportedly never found.

See, its not just Georgia. We got lost nukes offshore up here too..
