A Boeing B-52 Stratofortress flies from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana while carrying six nuclear warheads that were mistakenly loaded onto the aircraft.

Accidental loading of warheads onto an aircraft

On 29 August 2007, six AGM-129 ACM cruise missiles, each loaded with a W80-1 variable yield nuclear warhead, were mistakenly loaded onto a United States Air Force (USAF) B-52H heavy bomber at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota and transported to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. The nuclear warheads in the missiles were supposed to have been removed before the missiles were taken from their storage bunker.
