[QUOTE="Dave91TM, post: 296095, member: 887"] In the learn something every day column, this is a photo of a B52, obviously with no tail. Story is they had some structural problems and the tail blew off. This one landed. There is another story. During the cold war, the great military planners in the US decided to have a couple of B52's armed with nukes, flying 24 - 7. In case Russia attacked first the US could have a quick response. Story goes, one lost its tail near the east coast and crashed. It was only carrying 2 Nukes, 1100 times bigger then the ones used in WW2. Luckily they didn't explode, but then they would have only destroyed most of the eastern seaboard. [/QUOTE]
