 Because it came from a newspaper does not make it truthful..
 I have flown many missions OVER CANADA with much more potent
 weapons than those. We had full agreement with the Canadian
 Government... Why try to dig up something that is at least
 50 years old... There was NO danger to Canadian citizens at
 the time... Only the hysteria scattered by your newspapers.
 I have flown ovver BOTH areas many times... With and without
 weapons. I am sure the jettison was in accord with US/Canadian
 agreement or the crew would not have done it...
 If you have spent as many years as I on a SAC bomber crew.
 You will see that NO MISTAKES were ever made in handling of
 weapons... Regardless of what your 50 year old news account
 had to say... There was not dager to you population......
