The discussion in this thread about the possibility of some sort of accident with Fermi's with the Chicago Pile of 1942 reminded me of the old conspiracy theories about the Port Chicago Disaster actually being either a test or accidental detonation of an atomic bomb.
Vogel's been busted pretty well, as far as I know. But there have been numerous fatal criticallity accidents.
So, your challenge is: sometime between Early 1942 and August 6, 1945, have an accidental atomic detonation in the continental US. Extra points if it's in either Chicago or Port Chicago.
