ABC11: “A replica of a nuclear bomb returned to Downtown Raleigh Sunday to commemorate the anniversary of the catastrophic 1961 B-52 nuclear bomber accident.
The replica was displayed during a protest by members of North Carolina Peace Action at the Terry Sanford Federal Building on New Bern Avenue.
A B-52 bomber dropped two 3.8 megaton nuclear bombs onto a farm in Faro, North Carolina near Goldsboro on January 24, 1961. One bomb was recovered, however parts of the nuclear core of the other bomb remains buried at the site.
Peace Action said it wants the federal government to stop funding nuclear weapons.”
