I lived most of my life surrounded by eighteen TitanII missiles with a nine megaton W53 sitting on top of each one.

In 1980, one missile in the silo exploded with the W53 landing in a nearby cow pasture.

No big deal Zero.

Well, that's good to hear, o wise one. Should one drop on your house, you can run to your bomb shelter and we won't have to worry.

Got a link for this Steve? I've NEVER heard this tale, and I track nuclear issues closely.
