Talk:1958 Mars Bluff B-47 nuclear weapon loss incident

"Struck the playhouse"?
A bomb falls, strikes the playhouse the girls are in, explodes creating a crater 70ft across, yet the girls are only injured? Sounds a bit dubious. More like the bomb landed nearby the treehouse, the subsequent explosion injuring them. AnnaGoFast (talk) 23:25, 7 July 2016 (UTC)


 * This is a very, very belated response, but for the purpose of posterity: photos and testimony make it pretty clear that it did not strike a playhouse with girls in it, but rather landed about 50 yards from the back of the Gregg property. The girls were in between the garage and the house. Whether they were in a playhouse, I don't know. But none of the Gregg buildings were directly struck by the bomb. They were heavily damaged by it nonetheless, so, as you note, if the bomb had struck the actual house, they probably would have all been killed. NuclearSecrets (talk) 12:58, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
