"As a security measure, U.S. authorities do not announce nuclear weapons accidents, and some American citizens may have unknowingly been exposed to radiation that resulted from aircraft crashes and emergency bomb jettisons. Today, two hydrogen bombs and a uranium core lie in yet undetermined locations in the Wassaw Sound off Georgia, in the Puget Sound off Washington, and in swampland's near Goldsboro, North Carolina. Extensive searches have turned up nothing, and the Air Force says there is no chance of a Nuclear detonation. "
I've known about the ones in Georgia but i just discovered the story about the one around Goldsboro. This is a little unnerving as there's no telling how much of said radiation has leaked into the area, but still fascinating either way.
So.....Who has a Geiger counter??

They have an area fenced in near Goldsboro that is supposed to be the sight of the crash. There is also a bomb in the marshland of Tybee Island en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tybee_Bomb

Yea I think my little step brother got his from Cheaper than Dirt, but I don't necessarily care to get radiation poisoning from unearthing an old a-bomb. Makes me wonder how much more stuff like that they haven't released to the public.
