A rusting rocket discovered in a man’s garage in Washington state is in fact an inert nuclear missile, police have said.

Authorities contacted a man in Bellevue after he called the Air Force Museum offering to donate a military-grade rocket that belonged to his late neighbour. He said that his neighbour had bought the item from an estate sale.

You'd be surprised at at fukkery that nuke officers/commanders entertained for the past 75 years.

Just a decade ago, about a dozen of them got 86-ed due to running a cheating ring for proficiency exams involving nuclear safety and national emergency response...

Not to mention losing nukes in transit.

Chill man.

"Bellevue police bomb squad technicians said it was a Douglas AIR-2 Genie, an unguided air-to-air rocket that is designed to carry a 1.5kt W25 nuclear warhead. They said there was no warhead attached and there was no danger of an explosion."
Ah ok if no warhead np

There are tons of bombs and dangerous weapons scattered around that the air force has lost. Hell, one almost exploded over NC in the 60s, it had 3 fail safes and 2 failed. My parents were babies when it happened , I was that close to never existing and the nation would probably be a lot different if it happened.
