As a North Carolina resident, I'm glad it didn't detonate (even though I wasn't alive yet)!

This and many other horrors are touched on in the great book Command and Control: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_and_Control_(book)

It's truly astonishing the US hasn't nuked itself at least a half dozen times.

These bombers were flying all over the place day and night with fully operable nuclear weapons.
