The bomb 66 years lying on the sea bottom.
Canadian divers were looking for sea cucumbers, and found a bomb that had fallen from the aircraft in 1950.
The remains of the first were lost during the testing of nuclear bombs was after the diver picked up an unusual object lying on the ocean floor off the West coast of Canada.
The bomb, which is called Lost Nuke were to be dropped on Board the bomber B-36 during the test in 1950. But because of the problems of the engines, the plane crashed, having before that to drop the bomb in the sea. We add that the bomb was filled with lead, TNT and unenriched uranium, that is, could not cause a nuclear explosion, but could cause radioactive contamination in a small area.
Crew members argued that before the plane crash, the bomb was dropped in the ocean to minimize the damage from the detonation of this amount of explosives.
And here at the end of October diver Sean Smirichinski, who dived to the bottom in search of sea cucumbers off the coast of pitt island, suddenly came upon a large metal object. As told Smirichinski, the find was “more than double bed”, perfectly flat on top, with a rounded bottom and a hole in the middle, “like a bagel”.
The ship of naval forces of Canada were sent to survey the place of occurrence, and are expected to present the results in a few weeks. According to major canadian armed forces Steve Neta, the findings coincide with the flight path of the bomber. However, while there is no evidence that this is a lost bomb.
