There's a missing WMD, but you'd never guess where…
In 1958, a damaged U.S. B-47 bomber jettisons a nuclear bomb off the coast of Savannah Georgia containing 350 pounds of conventional explosives and an undisclosed quantity of highly enriched uranium. The bomb's explosive yield is 100 times that of the Hiroshima bomb. For weeks, the U.S. Navy and Air Force search for the bomb in the silty waters around Tybee Island. Deemed "irretrievably lost," the 7,600 pound nuclear Tybee bomb is still out there…
Through eyewitness and expert interviews, declassified military documents, archival and contemporary on-site footage, this documentary uncovers the history, the controversy, and the science surrounding the lost Tybee bomb.
