B-52 Accidentily Loaded with Nukes

I guess this was a money saving way to transport the nukes from Minot Airforce Base to Barksdale Air Force Base.
A B-52 bomber was mistakenly loaded with five nuclear warheads during a
flight from North Dakota to Louisiana, a newspaper reported Wednesday.


The bomber carried advanced cruise missiles as part of a Defense
Department program to retire 400 of the missiles, the Military Times said,
quoting three officers who spoke on condition they remain anonymous because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.
