And, No, Smarty Pants, "Boggy," "Quicksand-like Conditions" Are Not Ideal for Farming, but We Make Do. (Thanks for the Subsidies, by the Way)

On Tuesday, 24 January 1961, at about 12:30 a.m., two hydrogen bombs fell to earth near the tiny farming village of Faro, NC.

There's a great line from the movie Broken Arrow that I think applies here: "I don't know what's more terrifying, that we've lost possession of a nuclear weapon or that it happens so frequently that we've actually got a name for it."

And can I just say I'm shocked -- SHOCKED -- to find broken arrows in North Carolina's history, although I don't know why, given the state motto: "Breaking arrows since 1961"?
