The USA's Hundreds of "Missing" Nukes// SWT Selects | 058
Manage episode 377305533 series 2885930
In this explosive episode of Sorry We Tried, we're filling in a gap in the schedule! This time, Harrison shares the baffling, life-threatening history of the USA's nuclear testing. You saw its creation in the Oppenheimer movie, but the real story of the nuclear bomb involved a lot more... stupidity. To put it briefly, America has accidentally dropped hundreds of nuclear bombs over the years on American soil, nearly wiping itself off the map more times than you can count. There are also hundreds of nukes that have straight up gone missing. How does this keep happening? What's the deal with concrete bombs? And should we trust looney politicians with the power to wipe out human civilization? All these questions and more in this week's installment of SWT Selects!
