It’s *still* the #youngones finest half hour.

“Why won’t it go off, Mike?”

Today in Labor History February 5, 1958: The U.S. Air Force lost a Mark 15 thermonuclear bomb in the water near Tybee Island, near Savannah, Georgia. The B-47 bomber was on a simulated combat mission. It collided with an F-86 fighter plane, midair, and jettisoned the bomb in order to make an emergency landing without detonating it. Sources vary on whether it was a “dummy” bomb, or if it had a plutonium core. If it was a “dummy” bomb, it still carried 400 lbs of conventional high explosives, enough to do considerable local damage. However, Assistant Secretary of Defense W.J. Howard, told Congress that the Tybee Island bomb was a "complete weapon, a bomb with a nuclear capsule" and one of two weapons lost that contained a plutonium trigger.

For a truly terrifying history of the history of nuclear weapons systems and accidents involving nuclear weapons in the United States, read Eric Schlosser’s “Command and Control.”

Today in Labor History January 31, 1950: President Truman ordered the development of thermonuclear weapons (Hydrogen bombs). The U.S. tested the first thermonuclear weapon in 1952. It was developed by Edward Teller. H-bombs consist of a nuclear fission primary stage, much like older atomic bombs. The fuel for this stage is usually 235U or 239Pu. This is followed by a nuclear fusion reaction using the heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium. Modern thermonuclear weapons use lithium deuteride. The nuclear fission stage creates a temperature of over 100 million Kelvin (180 million degrees Fahrenheit), flooding the radiation channel with X-rays. The X-ray energy implodes a plutonium spark plug, compressing the secondary stage and driving the plutonium into a supercritical state that drives a fission chain reaction. The fission products heat the thermonuclear fuel to 300 million Kelvin, igniting the fusion reactions.

After Trump’s re-election as President of the U.S., the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists reset the Doomsday Clock to 89 seconds before midnight, the closest it has ever been to midnight. Closer than it was at the height of the Cold War. Closer than it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Closer than it was when Reagan joked that the U.S. had initiated an atomic attack on the USSR. Why? Because the clock is calibrated based on the threat of nuclear war, the climate crisis, the risks posed by AI, and the volatility and unpredictability of those with the fingers on the button, all of which have gotten worse with a 2nd Trump presidency. And on January 27, 2026, they reset it again to 85 seconds before midnight due, in part, to the intent to reintroduce explosive testing by the U.S. and its refusal to reestablish existing nuclear non-proliferation treaties.

Today in Labor History January 24, 1961: A B-52 bomber, carrying three 4-megaton Mark 39 nuclear bombs, broke up in mid-air, dropping its nuclear payload over North Carolina. Five crewmen successfully bailed out of the aircraft and landed safely. Another ejected, but did not survive the landing. Two others died in the crash. Each of the bombs had more than 250 times the destructive power of the Hiroshima bomb. Each one was large enough to create a 100% kill zone within an 8.5 miles radius. A supervisor of nuclear safety at Sandia National Laboratories said that "one simple, dynamo-technology, low voltage switch stood between the United States and a major catastrophe." However, there is evidence that the switch of at least one of the bombs was set to ARM. No one knows why none of them exploded. And while the authorities were able to recover the uranium core from two of the bombs, one of them is still lost somewhere in North Carolina.

For a truly terrifying look at just how many times we were just a hair trigger away from a major nuclear accident, read Eric Schlosser’s “Command and Control.” Also consider that we are currently in a massive resurgence of the nuclear arms race, with potential flashpoints in Ukraine, Israel, China, and Iran.

For 80 years our leaders have been working on the weapons and the plans to exterminate the planet and kill us all. And they got very good at it. Professor Ivana Hughes and Professor Steven Starr explain in this masterful presentation what nuclear war really means

Today in labor History January 17, 1966: A B-52 bomber collided with a KC-135 Stratotanker over Spain, killing seven airmen. They also accidentally dropped three 70-kiloton nuclear bombs near the town of Palomares and another into the sea. The non-nuclear trigger explosives detonated on impact, causing plutonium to spill and contaminate a 2-kilometer square area. However, there were no thermonuclear reactions or nuclear explosions. Despite an attempt to clean up the contamination, they were still finding radioactive sea life 40 years later. The Duchess of Medina Sidonia, known as the Red Duchess for her socialist activism, led a local protest at the U.S. embassy. The fascist Franco government arrested her and sentenced her to 13 months in prison.
