I smell a rat. Did anyone else notice the information contradicting it's self?
"found a large object underwater near Savannah that was emitting high levels of radioactivity, according to an Associated Press report.
The Air Force insists the bomb was being used for practice and did not contain the plutonium trigger needed for a nuclear explosion."
So, it's radio active, but does not have any radio active material. Hmmmm.
at least we can account for more than russia. but its still no good :(
Eeeek, That is scary man.

"The 7,600-pound, 12-foot-long thermonuclear bomb contained 400 pounds of high explosives as well as uranium"
