It's kind of mind-boggling. We had one in Britain as well in the 50s, didn't we, in Lake and Heath air base in Suffolk. That was a plane crashed into a nuclear weapons storage facility. It was a miracle that the bombs didn't explode. If they had, we probably would have lost Cambridge. Wow. It was a US official. Noxford Boy, and he's looking happy. No great loss. One US official said it's possible that parts of Eastern England would have become a desert.

Other times RAF Lakenheath came up
We only found out about this way, way later. When we look back, the reports said that there was a mass panic when they realized this has happened. When the fire services were going towards Lake and Heath, all they saw was a convoy of Americans just leg in it. Just cars full of people just panicking and people getting taxis and just saying, take me anywhere away from here as quickly as you can.
