Diver Finds Long-Lost Nuke While Hunting Sea Cucumbers
« on: November 11, 2016, 2355 UTC »
A man diving off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, may have stumbled upon a nuclear weapon that the United States lost decades ago.

Now, the Royal Canadian Navy is scoping out the strange object to see if it is indeed a Mark IV bomb that was jettisoned by an American pilot in 1950 just before his plane crashed.

I read about that a couple of days back. Now if they can only dig that one out of the swamp outside of Goldsboro, N.C. It endangers Wilber's BBQ, a true national treasure.
