One aircraft accidentally released two nuclear bombs in North Carolina, over Goldsboro. These were loads above 260 dropped in Hiroshima and three out of four safety protocols failed. Released from the aircraft, the parachute was activated and the explosion was prevented by a low-voltage switch operating at the last minute. The US Government resorted to the accident to disregard the issue and, conversely, to extol the level of security in the field of these weapons. The Guardian opened the security gap in 2013 based on documents held by the US Government.
