    this one got me too.

    not detonated. just dropped. like football
    TWO ATOMIC BOMBS WERE DROPPED ON NORTH CAROLINA
    Fortunately, no atomic bombs were dropped on the Moon, but the same can't be said of North
    Carolina. The Tar Heel State's brush with nuclear catastrophe came on January 24, 1961, about
    half past midnight. A B-52 with two nukes on-board was cruising the skies near Goldsboro and
    Faro when its right wing leaked fuel and exploded. The jet disintegrated. Five crewmen survived,
    while three died.
    The two MARK 39 thermonuclear bombs disengaged from the jet. Each one had a yield of two
    to tour megatons (reports vary), up to 250 times as powerful as the bomb that decimated
    Hiroshima. The parachute opened on one of them, and it drifted to the earth relatively gently. But
    the parachute failed to open on the other, so it plowed into a marshy patch of land owned by a
    farmer.
    The nuke with the parachute was recovered easily. However, its twin proved much more difficult
    to retrieve. Because of the swampiness of the area, workers were able to drag out only part of the
    bomb. One of its most crucial components — the "secondary," which contains nuclear material
    — is still in the ground, probably around 150 feet down.

    Conspiracy Fact and conspiracy theory are very different.

    A lot of this stuff is just plain fact anyone would know if they read a book. The title of the .pdf is sensationalist - very little of this would be considered 'things you're not supposed to know'

    They also don't keep track of how many rats and mice are killed in animal testing because they "aren't real animals"
    And there are quite a few sneaky things going on in the FDA, too...

    Why?
    Do you work for the FDA in a capacity that affords you access to "secrets".
