NEAR NUCLEAR DISASTER, CONSPIRACY COVERUP

Documents and witnesses prove the USAF and Boeing were aware of the wing-tail design flaw, but profits prevailed

This event happened over 50 years ago and it is time that the true stories are told so the whole world will know about it and learn how to deal with a traumatic event of this magnitude with compassion for all involved.

When this B-52 crashed, the USAF tried to cover it up and threatened to put people in jail if they talked about the crash or had any parts of the plane in their possession. Now after 50 years, they are telling their Nuclear Nightmare story thru this documentary. The final cover-up was that the USAF blew up the remaining parts of the B-52 and dug a huge hole and put the parts in it. Then they “covered” it up like it never happened. Now the parts are resurfacing due to erosion of the soil.
