Скачать или смотреть The Titan II Missile That Exploded in Arkansas | The 1980 Damascus Nuclear Disaster

In 1980, a U.S. Air Force missile silo in rural Arkansas experienced one of the most dangerous accidents in Cold War history. A dropped tool punctured a Titan II missile, triggering a catastrophic fuel leak, an underground explosion, and the shocking airborne launch of a nine-megaton nuclear warhead.

This documentary uncovers the full story:
• The maintenance mistake that triggered the disaster
• The deadly oxidizer leak that filled the silo
• The heroic airmen who risked everything to save the complex
• The massive explosion that hurled the nuclear warhead out of the silo
• The near-apocalyptic consequences America narrowly avoided
• The government secrecy that followed

This is one of the Cold War’s most terrifying “broken arrow” incidents—and one that almost no one outside Arkansas ever knew happened.
