A USAF B-47 Stratojet on Alert Status at Chennault AFB, Louisiana, accidentally ignites RATO (Rocket assisted take-off) bottles, is pushed off runway into tow vehicle, catches fire, completely destroying single nuclear weapon on board. Contamination limited to area within aircraft wreckage.(or so they tell us!!!)
