February 5th, 1958 was a clear and calm night at 1 AM just off the Atlantic coast on the border between Georgia and South Carolina. When a B-47 bomber carrying a 3.8 megaton hydrogen bomb collided with an F-86. In order to save the crew, Major Richardson ejected the bomb off the coast of Tybee Island, where it has been lost ever since.
