The Missing Chapter Podcast

Nuclear Family Vacation


Listen Later

As a parent, a trip to the beach on a hot, summer day can be exactly what the family needs to complete the perfect vacation. However, as a diligent father, you always have to be aware of possible dangers – even on a remote, sandy beach reminiscent of a pristine paradise getaway. Crashing waves, strong undertows; did we apply enough sunscreen? Why is that one scene from ‘Jaws’ continually running through my mind… I know, I’m paranoid, but again that’s the job of a parent, right?

Most likely, a scenario, that isn’t a fear of mine or on my radar, is the possibility that a Cold War-era nuclear bomb is sitting, quietly on the bottom of the ocean floor just off the coast of the beach we’re enjoying. That would be something right out of a science-fiction movie, right? Surely that would never and could never happen; I mean our government would deactivate or remove entirely a weapon of that magnitude that would put the entire eastern-seaboard of the United States at risk. Well Missing Chapter listeners…. Think again. It’s not the plot to some Hollywood film and it’s not fiction. Learn about the amazing, and terrifying, true story of the live nuclear warhead sitting just off the coast of the U.S. and, more importantly, find out where it’s located before you plan your next family trip. On this episode of The Missing Chapter Podcast.
