U.S. Flies Nukes Cross-Country BY MISTAKE

This has got to be the craziest shit I've heard in ages:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Six nuclear warheads on cruise missiles were mistakenly carried on a flight from North Dakota to Louisiana last week, prompting a major investigation, military officials have confirmed. "This is a major gaffe, and it's going to cause some heads to roll down the line," said Don Shepperd, a retired Air Force major general and military analyst for CNN. The warheads should have been removed from the missiles before they were attached to the B-52 bomber, according to military officials.

The crew was unaware that the plane was carrying nuclear weapons, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the extraordinary sensitivity and security surrounding the case.

Your crack military in action. Or rather, your ON crack military in action. "Nukes? We had nukes on board? SIX of them? Really? Get outta here!" Oh, the egg that would have been on their faces, had that plane crashed in the heartland.
