Between 1950 and 1968 the US military lost dozens of nuclear weapons in accidents the Pentagon codenamed 'Broken Arrows,' and this History Hit documentary uses declassified archives to reconstruct what actually happened. It opens with the 1950 loss of a B-36 bomber over British Columbia, its nuclear payload never fully recovered, then moves to the 1961 Goldsboro, North Carolina crash where a fully armed hydrogen bomb came apart on descent and one safety switch stood between the accident and detonation. Archival footage, declassified documents, and expert interviews trace how the military handled each incident: the search parties sent to retrieve wreckage, the secrecy imposed on local witnesses, and the missions ordered to erase evidence before the press or Soviet intelligence could piece together what nearly happened. The film lays out just how many of these incidents occurred across two decades and argues that the public record still understates their number. It is a methodical account of accidents the government spent years trying to make disappear entirely.
