Did you know that a Boeing B-50 Superfortress once discarded an atomic bomb over the St. Lawrence River?
Strap in for an enlightening discussion that questions the adequacy of our governing bodies, stresses the importance of transparency, and underscores the crucial role of oversight in society.
In todays episode, we share a riveting tale of a 1950s broken arrow incident awaits you, as we uncover the details of this chilling event that was shrouded in secrecy by US and Canadian officials for over three decades.
Our guide for todays nugget of wisdom is Hampton Sides' superb account of the Korean War in On Desperate Ground: The Marines at the Reservoir, the Korean War's Greatest Battle
Key Points from the Episode:
- We shine a spotlight on the shocking frequency of such incidents, with 32 recorded since the 1950s, raising critical questions about the safety and security of those who fall within the shadows of these decisions.
- We also cast a critical gaze on the state of Congressional oversight.
- Can we truly say there is any? With a robust defense that seems to border on opacity, we question the lack of transparency and the secrets that remained buried for over 30 years.
- Listen in as we probe into the happenings three decades later and whether lessons have been drawn from these harrowing events.
