My first thought on hearing this story was "what does mpyne have to say about this" since the idea of the world's nuclear weapons being controlled by people that can't see a hugeass summarine in front of them is a bit scary. Passive vs. active sonar explains it I guess. Not sure I'm reassured though. :) I think you can't mention all the dropped nukes that didn't cause a problem without also mentioning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-52_crash_at_Thule_Air_Base where an exploiding plane was essentially an ad-hoc dirty bomb over Greenland.
