This incident (and others) have been open public knowledge, and the subject of repeated televised programs, for over 10 years (at least in the US).
Where has the BBC been... has it been a slow week for "blind panic & ignorant fear-mongering" stories in the UK?
But his case has been vigorously contested by opponents who raise apocalyptic fears of a thermonuclear explosion which could destroy much of the US eastern seaboard.
Fears have also been expressed that the bomb could be located and recovered by a terrorist group, and there are even some who believe that may already have happened.
And there are those who believe our planet is hollow... and those who believe UFO aliens are controlling the world's governments.

Well that is the only vaguely comforting explanation for our government over this side of the Atlantic, GK. Other explanations are just too scary...

...As he cruised at 38,000 feet over North Carolina and Georgia...
I never realised the B-47 was as long as that. Presumably nose over GA, tail over NC and the middle bit over South Carolina.
