In 1958, a damaged U.S. bomber dropped a 7,500-pound hydrogen bomb off the Georgia coast. The military searched for ten weeks—and never found it.
This documentary reconstructs the collision over Tybee Island, the desperate decision to jettison the Mark 15 weapon, the enormous recovery effort, and the contradiction hidden inside declassified government records. Was the nuclear capsule actually aboard? And after more than 68 years, where could the bomb be now?
