The program was involved in the following nuclear-weapons accidents:
The Thule accident signaled the end of the program on January 22, 1968.
I still say it was fucking incompetent to even consider these missions. Realistically if you distribute your planes / weapons geographically the chance of the being caught on the ground simultaneously must be tiny.
Even though tiny, the fact there is any possibility would be enough to convince defences of it's necessity. A nuclear stand-off becomes a bit like a Western duel and could ultimately be decided by the slightest of reaction time. It's obviously also a large amount of strutting and bravado as well.

Seriously though I am beginning to think Dr Strangelove was a documentary with all the so called "broken arrow" incidents over the years.
Add Russia's nonsense during those times and since the USSR broke up, it really is a miracle we never had a nuclear engagement for real.
