Hi Mr. Terrorist, if you'd like an H-Bomb, we'll tell you where to look!

Jesus christ, sometimes the media is REALLY REALLY dumb. Well, all the time.

SAVANNAH, Georgia (AP) -- Spurred by what appear to be unusual radiation readings offshore, the U.S. government is sending a team of 20 scientists to try to find a hydrogen bomb lost off the Georgia coast in 1958.

Scientists from the Pentagon and the National Labs met on Wednesday with Derek Duke, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who has searched for the missing 7,600-pound nuke over the past five years.

Duke has detected what he believes are unusual radiation readings in Wassaw Sound near Tybee Island.

A B-47 bomber dumped the H-bomb into the Atlantic Ocean 46 years ago after the plane collided with a fighter jet during a training flight. Navy divers searched the shallow, murky waters near Tybee Island for nearly 10 weeks before declaring the bomb irretrievably lost.

The bomb became one of 11 "Broken Arrows" -- nuclear bombs lost during air or sea mishaps, according to U.S. military records.

1. so..

they are finally going to go after the Tybee bomb....

I thought they always said it would be worse to try and disturb it than it would be to leave it there...

(It has no pit)

2. Hardly an easy task

Underwater salvage is pretty difficult in any event.
