The United States had several Broken Arrow incidents in which armed nuclear weapons came very close to full detonation. For example, two 3.8 megaton W39 bombs involved in the 1961 Goldsboro North Carolina B-52 crash may have failed to detonate only because the pilot hadn't armed the bomb (the other 5 safeties had tripped). Other nuclear weapons had inherently dangerous designs. The early nuclear bombs were vulnerable to detonation from lighting strikes, while the Mk 101 Lulu depth charge bomb could accidently detonate if it rolled off an aircraft carrier's deck. Given these close calls, what would the American response be to a NUCFLASH event on an American military asset or over populated American territory?
