Atom bombs that disappeared during World War II were never found…, can explode anytime and turn world into…, these are called…

There are 9 countries in the world that have nuclear weapons. These include US, Russia, India, China, France, United Kingdom, Israel, North Korea and Pakistan. However, there are many nuclear weapons in the world about which no one knows till date and those remain as area of concern.

During the Second World War, when superpowers like the US and Russia were about to attack each other with nuclear bombs, many planes with nuclear bombs were flying and were ready to wreak havoc at the go signal.

During this time, many nuclear bombs had to be dropped. Although a few weapons were recovered, and a few were not found despite all the search and they were declared missing. Some bombs, however, also exploded when they fell down.

According to a report, since 1950, more than 30 such accidents have happened. When nuclear weapons were dropped from the plane and they either exploded or were lost. However, no one has confirmed such accidents. The reason behind this is that knowing about the damage and side effects caused by such accidents will spread fear in the world.

Despite this, some incidents have come to light. Such accidents are known as ‘Broken Arrow’. On February 5, 1958, a Mark 15 thermonuclear bomb was dropped near Georgia’s Tybee Island. It is said that it was dropped to reduce the weight of the plane for a safe landing.

After the bomb was dropped, when it was searched for, it was not found. Even underwater wave detection equipment was used but it was not found. After which it was finally declared missing.

Apart from this, in 1965 a B43 thermonuclear bomb fell into the Philippine Sea off the coast of Japan. It is said that it slipped and fell and was never found again after falling. Not only this, an American Navy officer also went missing along with this bomb. A huge amount of money was spent on the search operation but still it was not found.
