Episode 36 - Thunderball/For Your Eyes Only - When 4 US nuclear warheads were lost or blew up over Spain

In 1966, a year after Thunderball was released the United States had their B-52 bomber blow up over the coast of Spain.  With it four nuclear warheads plummeted to the coast.  Two exploded, causing massive radiation in the area, one was found intact, and one was lost to sea.  The US and Spain both refused to say a nuclear event occurred, and went deep in covering up the incident.  That was until my guest's uncle broke the story and revealed the massive cover-up that was taking place.  In an episode I loved researching and doing, join myself and Alex Lamas as we talk about everything from Iran Contra to Isreal's Navy to why a certain Bond girl would be worth being on a nuclear bomb for.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donald-waldron/support
