Response to Clifford, nothing happened in the last 34 Years?

We were known to haul various nukes/nuke components in our C-124C Douglas "Racers". One day circa 1967 while mid-Atlantic, laden with white goodies, we were musing what the monetary loss to the USA would be if we had to ditch our 20 year-old, oil-smeared, prop-swinging Shakey in The Pond. We guesstimated that this gran-mal Broken Arrow would be equivalent to the Enterprise sinking........
