I was reading about the "Broken Arrow" incidents the United States has experienced, I'm also working on a small story and I was wondering.

What would happen if one American nuclear bomb accidentally goes off in Okinawa?
And what is needed for that to occur?

I was thinking that perhaps a nuclear accident would give the Japanese left a huge boost of popularity, would it be that way or would the LDP stay strong?
If the Left gains strength, would there be a chance to take the government?

And also I was wondering, which place would be the best to be "nuked"?[For story purposes like: Damaging USA-Japan relations, boosting the Left BUT without causing too much damage to Japan as a whole or Japanese relations with the US.]

And some other questions... with Japan-USA relations going a bit cold after that kind of accident and IF the Left manages to take the government...
1) Would they approach the Soviet Union?
2) A neutral stance?
3) Would they have better relations with South Korea?
4) Would they recognize the awful actions the country did in WW2?
