so lazy"The Air Force determined that it was prudent to leave the bomb covered in mud at the bottom of the sea floor rather than disturb it and risk the potential of detonation or contamination."B-Deep said:The 1958 Tybee Island B-47 crash was an incident on February 5, 1958 in which the United States Air Force lost a 7,600 pound (3,500 kg) Mark 15 hydrogen bomb in the waters off Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia, USA. The bomb was jettisoned to save the aircrew during a practice exercise after the B-47 bomber carrying it collided in midair with an F-86 fighter plane. Following several unsuccessful searches, it was presumed lost somewhere in Wassaw Sound off the shores of Tybee Island.wtph
It was something you intended to act upon, but you all chickened out.That's what a "plan" is - a strategy in place to be prepared in case action is needed. Having a plan does not infer intent to act.So it wasn't actually a "plan" it was just a strategy for if there was a time they needed to do that.TommyGilmore said:England had an alliance with Japan from 1902, and we were concerned that they could team up to conquer the world. Invading Canada would be critical in any attempt to wage war against England and Japan.It was part of dozens of different military scenarios that we planned for.wazoo11 said:won't load me for at work; what were the reasons for US to invade Canada?A few tidbits from glancing through a few of them:
2. The U.S. had a plan in the 1930s to invade Canada.
7. The prank phone calls Bart makes to Moe's are based on actual historical events.
43. So that's what that username means.
This frightened and disturbed me, and is awesome.

Thanks. Now I feel really stupid. Think I'll go watch some Wheel of Fortune.
I was coming in here to post this one; saw a link to it when I was reading about the London Beer Flood one day.Boston Molasses Disaster - A large molasses storage tank burst, and a wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 mph (56 km/h), killing 21 and injuring 150. The event has entered local folklore, and residents claim that on hot summer days, the area still smells of molasses.[1]
Now THAT was awesome.Sarnoff said:Archival versionlooks like they got rid of the Back to the Future Timeline page.

Yeah, I wonder where he got that.Reminds me of something Chuck Palahniuk once wrote;http://www.seizureandy.com/stuff/guts.htmlomg
2008: Abigail Taylor, age 6, died nine months after several of her internal organs were partially sucked out of her lower body while she sat on an excessively powerful swimming pool drain. After several months, surgeons replaced her intestines and pancreas with donor organs. Unfortunately, she later succumbed to a rare transplant-related cancer.[154]
Sounds like perhaps there was an initial accident where several of the campers were soaked. So they removed their clothing to avoid hypothermia, and perhaps tried wrapping themselves in whatever dry fabrics were available. Then it sounds like there was avalanche, burying the tent. They had to dig and cut their way out, but now several of them were basically naked in -30 degree weather and had no chance to survive. After that it could have descended into general panic and the others died too.

Always been one of my favorite trivia items; it you put it in a screenplay, they'd throw it out for being too unbelievable.
That would make an awesome movieThis frightened and disturbed me, and is awesome.
Bad. ###.That would make an awesome movieThis frightened and disturbed me, and is awesome.

Oooo...this is even better Incidents at Disney parks
On August 14, 1979, a 31-year-old woman became ill after riding Space Mountain. At the unload area, she was unable to get out of the vehicle. Although employees told her to stay seated while the vehicle was removed from the track, other ride attendants did not understand that her vehicle was to be removed and sent her through the ride a second time. She arrived at the unloading zone semi-conscious. The victim was subsequently taken to Palm Harbor Hospital where she remained in a coma and died seven days later. The coroner's report attributed the death to natural causes: a heart tumor had dislodged and entered her brain. A subsequent lawsuit against the park was dismissed.[28]
