Oops, We Forgot

A B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with five nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air Force-wide investigation.

[...]

[T]he nuclear warheads should have been removed at Minot before being transported to Barksdale, the officers said. The missiles were mounted onto the pylons of the bomber’s wings.

[...]

[T]he mistake was not discovered until the B-52 landed at Barskdale.

  Raw Story

Made me think of this report from 2004.

LITTLE EGG HARBOR, N.J. — A National Guard F-16 fighter (search) jet on a nighttime training mission strafed an elementary school with 25 rounds of ammunition, authorities said Thursday. No one was injured.

The Guard now says its preliminary theory is that the F-16 jet's cannon opened fire prematurely as the fighter was climbing upward at 8,000 feet. The 25 shells went straight up in the air and then came back to ground at the school.

An accident with nuclear warheads might have been a bit dicier.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

The fish smell is getting worse

Remember on 9/11 the training exercises going on at the same time the planes hit the towers, which was supposedly why NORAD didn't scramble jets to the actual "terrorist" planes on time? Well, the following is from Jack Dalton:
There are just way too many unanswered questions about 9/11 and now what took place in London must now be added to the list of unanswered questions. I for one am firmly convinced we cannot just write off either of these horrible events as anything less than the possibility of "inside" jobs. I put nothing past the Bush/Blair cabal. -- Jack

London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack

Culpability cover scenario echoes 9/11 wargames

On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.

Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch. Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.

[...]

The exercise fulfils several different goals. It acts as a cover for the small compartmentalized government terrorists to carry out their operation without the larger security services becoming aware of what they're doing, and, more importantly, if they get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in the exercise.

Damn ballsy if true. Have we already forgotten the 9/11 training exercises? Nobody would notice?
