Скачать или смотреть Palomares, Minute by Minute

Seventeen January nineteen sixty-six. A Strategic Air Command B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs collides with a refueling tanker over southern Spain. Seven crew members die. The weapons fall near the farming village of Palomares. Two conventional high explosive detonations scatter plutonium across agricultural land. One bomb is recovered intact. The fourth disappears into the Mediterranean—triggering an eighty-day deep-water search that will require submersibles, salvage ships, and diplomatic negotiation under intense pressure.
This is the documented account of the Palomares incident: how airborne alert doctrine created a single-point failure mode, why "no nuclear yield" still meant radiological emergency, and how cleanup thresholds—measured in becquerels per square meter—determined which Spanish soil was drummed into barrels and shipped to the United States. The story tracks contamination surveys, barrel counts that vary by source, the Technical Advisory Group's search strategy, DSV Alvin's localization dives at nine hundred ten meters depth, and CURV's final recovery on seven April.
Palomares produced no nuclear detonation. It produced an enduring stewardship problem—one that reshaped airborne alert policy, created decades of monitoring obligations, and returned to diplomatic tables in twenty fifteen. The decisive variables were not dramatic: they were thresholds, hectares, manifests, and the institutional question of how to document uncertainty.
