Talk:Quimby, Iowa

Untitled
A long time ago, when I was in Taiwan I read a letter in a newspaper from an American. The letter said that Quimby was the third city in the world to have an atomic bomb dropped on it. Fortunately for Quimby the bomb (of course, dropped by accident) was only armed with a detonator. Damage was fairly extensive but fortunately no one was seriously hurt in the incident. It's an intriguing story and I think it should be included in the article. Unfortunately a letter in a Taiwanese newspaper is far from being a verifiable source so perhaps anyone who can verify it better could do so?

Sorry, no atomic bomb
I'm sorry to be a downer here, but I think I would have heard had the atomic bomb thing happened. I grew up there and in a town of 300 people any story like that would have been well known. There is a Quimby, Maine that could possibly be the source of this story. there's only two towns named Quimby in the U.S.
