Explanation

In the 1966 Palomares B-52 crash, a bomber collided with a KC-135 tanker during a mid-air refueling operation near Palomares, Spain. Three of the four hydrogen bombs on board were recovered quickly, but one fell into the Mediterranean Sea and required an extensive two-month search operation to locate and retrieve.
