Topic Reading-Vol.542-10/5/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
US plane in 1961 'nuclear bomb near-miss’
Nothing is perfect, no matter how intelligent people are and how advanced technologies are.
The US nearly could have bombed another nuclear bomb only six years after it did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the midst of Cold War. But that time wasn’t to its enemy but to its own soil.
It was an accident but all the six fail-safe mechanisms save one, which saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Carolina from a disaster.
Enjoy reading and learning about a scary near-miss incident that was revealed from the recently declassified US government document.
