In this video:
• On January 17, 1966, a US B-52 bomber collided with a KC-135 tanker over Palomares, Spain during a refueling operation, resulting in four hydrogen bombs falling from the aircraft.
• Two bombs detonated non-nuclear explosions on land, spreading radioactive plutonium over 435 hectares, while two fell into the sea. One sea-fallen bomb was recovered with the help of a local fisherman.
• A three-month clean-up operation was conducted, involving US military personnel and civilians. • • However, only about 3% of the contaminated area was cleaned up, with 1,700 tonnes of contaminated soil transported to California.

Long-term consequences include:
• Health issues for US veterans involved in the clean-up, with many developing cancers and struggling for recognition and benefits.
• Ongoing concerns for Palomares residents, including land expropriation and potential health effects.

The incident has regained relevance in recent decades:
• 1990s surveys revealed high contamination levels in some areas, leading to fencing off affected land in 2004.
• In 2021, a US Court of Appeals for Veterans Affairs made a positive resolution regarding veterans' eligibility for health care benefits.
• As of 2023, the Spanish government had requested a thorough re-cleaning of the land from the US.
