The Night 2 H-Bombs Fell on North Carolina

On this episode of Our American Stories, we learn how on January 23, 1961, a B-52 bomber crashed in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Two H-bombs—each 250 times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Japan, fell to the ground. Earl Smith dismantled those bombs and he's here to tell us the story! Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, tells the story of a man many historians consider to be the greatest pitcher in the history of baseball-Leroy "Satchel" Paige.  Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)   Time Codes: 00:00 - The Night 2 H-Bombs Fell on North Carolina 35:00 - See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
