P80 you're not getting our message.
There is a strict procedure when it comes to moving nuclear weapons and this has been violated but not only that, the authorities DON'T KNOW how this happened. If this was by design and it was a new way of doing things, this should not be an incident but this was an accident where nukes were accidentally moved from one place to another and didn't follow procedure any step of the way.
That is the incident P80.
Mistakes like this can lead to a stolen nuke scenario and believe me, there's a lot of bad guys out there who want their hands on a nuke.
As for nuclear weapon armed B52s flying around the clock during the Cold War, these missions were sanctioned by the President of the United States. Therefore this would not be an incident. These were military operations under full control. Even then some accidents did happen. However, I think although the individual accidents would be a significant incident, the operation itself should not be controversial since it was a part of America's grand strategy against the Soviet Union.
The thing is that I do trust the AF when they said public wasn't in danger and some dont trust the Air Force. So it is the difference!
