bluespace is a very strange form of pocket dimension , that is largely unpredictable and completely unexplored . while there is speculation about the possibility of celestial bodies existing in bluespace , it is highly unlikely . travelling in the bluespace dimension without a proper gate or bluespace drive has thus far been proven to be incredibly dangerous , with probes either appearing in unintended locations or never returning at all . travelling in the bluespace dimension , depending on the power of the gate entered , varies from 10x the speed of light , to 1000x the speed of light . as of 2457 , there are two methods of utilizing bluespace for galactic travel : bluespace gates , and bluespace drives .
the owler community has estimated the number of employees of the bluespace to be one .
the owler community has estimated the revenue of the bluespace to be less than $ 1m .
diving deeper into bluespace carries its own risks . vessels navigate
light bluespace
, a region in which material travel is increased . going too far into
light bluespace
may cause a vessel to enter
deep bluespace
. little is known of the region but for one truth - vessels do not return from it . it ' s common for ships caught in the throes of an interdiction system to skim deeper into bluespace briefly , and then move further towards realspace . this repetition allows the victims bluespace field to regenerate and its bluespace drive to cool down . the sudden jarring increase and decrease in speed can cause extreme fatigue to a ships superstructure and the crew within .
two leading theories have emerged from initial speculation : either an advanced race exists in bluespace and they have made moves into our own in the past , leaving these artifacts behind , or the second theory that the bluespace mysteries and fossils are entirely separate , and that the
precursors
are not related to the strange , exotic mysteries surrounding bluespace .
interdiction drives are designed to overload bluespace drives and force vessels to drop out of a bluespace jump . operating alongside bluespace targeting systems the interdiction drives lock onto vessels in the midst of a jump and interfere with their ability to produce bluespace fields , degrading and eventually
bursting
them , forcing the vessel violently out of a jump . the strain the interdiction drives place on opposing drives almost always causes them to overheat and require not only a full reset but maintenance as well if not outright rendering them inoperable . there is only one way for a vessel caught in an interdiction system to break the interdiction and that is to dive deeper into bluespace . most ships are incapable of doing this as they operate on pre - plotted co - ordinates . those that have the capacity to
tweak
jumps in real time are able to move deeper into the bluespace dimension , strengthening their bluespace field and increasing their speed allowing them to potentially outrun their pursuers .
bluespace drives are generally reserved for military ships , or for civilian ships that have the luxury of affording a drive . bluespace drives are limited by the size of any given vessel , and require bluespace crystals to function , as well as enough phoron to power the crystal . each bluespace crystal provides a certain amount of ' jumps ' per type of drive . it is not recommended to use a bluespace drive to jump to any place not sustained by a bluespace gate or jump beacon ( such as those utilized by the nss aurora for incoming and outgoing shuttles ) . ships that fail to jump to the appropriate points or fail to log a jump flight path with a traffic controller run the risk of colliding with another object at the exit point . on rare occasions , two objects become ' entangled ' upon exiting bluespace at the same location , causing the two bodies to meld in bizarre ways - which has thus far always been fatal for the inhabitants of the vessels .
bluespace is a form of pocket dimension that was discovered in 2413 by doctor samantha tigard and an anonymous skrellian research team , who at the time was conducting a theoretical physics experiment to test the probability of a resonance cascade scenario , in which a portal to an alternate dimension would be opened . tigard ' s experiments , when coupled with some theoretical models contributed by the skrell , discovered bluespace . she later went on the pioneer the first enhanced warp - bluespace drive . powering the drive proved difficult until the discovery of phoron in 2417 , which could easily power a bluespace crystal compared to more traditional power sources .
currently golems exist for 24 hours after creation , the golems spontaneously teleport away in a brief bluespace anomaly . many attempts have been made to tag golems in order to track them . only 12 % of golems have managed to be recovered , with the other ones being lost the moment they bluespace away , the tracker becoming unresponsive . recovered golems are almost unanimously found near bluespace artifacts or slime colonies . after blue spacing away , the golems exist for another 48 hours before suddenly expiring .
bluespace have been professional from the start , to project completion . i highly recommend them , and look forward to working with them again in the future .
mol , 8 march 2017 : entrepreneurs who want to innovate with space technology find coaching and expertise at ‘bluespace’ , the new consortium of imec , verhaert and vito .
usually a setting available on a standard interdiction drive but sometimes stand alone , interdiction nets are wide projections intended to capture objects travelling through bluespace in its scanning zone . when a vessel utilising bluespace passes through a net it is immediately struck with a high powered interdiction system . stronger than a standard interdiction system , any ship caught is brought straight out of a jump more often than not . this is a common addition to space stations to avoid accidental collisions caused by ships dropping out of bluespace and utilising standard propulsion too close or to prevent / soften direct attack from bluespace weapons such as bluespace artillery . interdiction nets are popular with pirates who use them to cover shipping lanes , literally using them as one would use a fishing net in a stream . an attack on travellers around biesel was believed to have been carried out using these devices . the nss odin utilises three overlapping interdiction nets .
all known interdiction drives are larger in comparison to the bluespace drive it is trying to overcome , usually in a 2 - 1 ratio . it is rare for a small shuttle to carry an interdiction drive though some pirates may strip out their own ships interiors to install one . larger capital ships are all but immune to interdiction drives due to their mass and gigantic bluespace drives .
bluespace offers support at different locations in flanders , with antwerp as base . we like to give high - tech start - ups and spin - offs that use space technology a flying start .
the first drone sent into bluespace was constructed by the einstein engines corporation , and traveled to the edge of the alpha centauri system in less than ten minutes . however , using doctor tigard ' s experimental ' drive ' system would not work for tradition travel , as it could not be focused and it was only large enough for objects smaller than the average human . selling her designs for a record 234 , 000 , 000 standard credits to the einstein engines corporation , the first bluespace gate began construction in 2420 . finished in 2425 , the first bluespace gate , orbiting mars , spanned the size of fifty meters , and had seven fusion reactors built into it . the existing , inefficient warp gates were quickly converted into bluespace gates , allowing them to be powered much more efficiently .
originally bluespace gates were built as inferior warp gates . while advanced for their time , they were far slower and much more expensive than current bluespace travel . the warp gate project was and remains the most ambitious , far reaching , and expensive construction project in the known galaxy . the debt from this project is still being paid off to this day by the sol alliance , who shouldered most of the cost . thus , when nanotrasen swept in with bluespace , they were able to monopolize the rights to retrofit the now - defunct warp gates almost immediately after the mega - project was finished .
the core concept of bluespace is to exploite the added value of spatial division multiplexing ( sdm ) in the radio access network ( ran ) with efficient optical beamforming interface for the pragmatic ka - band wireless transmission band . both being seamlessly integreable in next generation optical access networks infrastructures with massive beam steering capabilities and with flexible network management control . the main objectives targeted by the bluespace project are bluespace are : to develope a truly viable and efficient path for 5g wireless communications with a 1000 - fold increase in capacity , connectivity for over 1 billion users , strict latency control , and network software programming .
the latter update isn ' t as useful as the former—sticky headers mean no more scrolling back to the top to add posts—but it ' s spawned a perfectly tumblr - appropriate art project under the tag
bluespace .
a small segment of the scientific community have become increasingly alarmed at how fast the known galaxy have invested in bringing bluespace into society , while there are still several major mysteries surrounding this new dimension and its interactions with our own . since the discovery of bluespace , humanity has managed to discover several strange artifacts and lifeforms not known to follow the laws of our reality , including slimes , which were originally discovered in areas along with artifacts .
at bluespace we live and die by the brands we create . from the phone dialogue to the identity system , communication standards to the packaging , our focus is on the cohesive accumulation of every aspect , every experience , every connection made .
the investments made in space get added value when they are used in new projects on earth . to encourage the use of space technology , imec , verhaert and vito launch the consortium ‘bluespace’ with an incubation program of the same name . sven de cleyn , imec . istart program manager : “high - tech spin - offs are the future of flanders . we see great opportunities in the use of space technologies . with ‘bluespace’ we want to support new initiatives that apply these opportunities . ”
bluespace drives project a field around a certain meter distance around the ship itself , enveloping it into the bluespace dimension , and then ' jumps ' it to the plotted destination . drives can be used to jump to any location within range , but this is incredibly dangerous . high quality drives are more efficient in plotting exit coordinates and can be used for virtually any place to travel with minimal risk , but these drives remain incredibly expensive and used almost exclusively by the militaries of the major factions , or the adventurous wealthy .
imec , verhaert and vito have a profound experience in supporting entrepreneurs to develop new ideas . together they are a profitable cross - fertilization between creativity and technology . therefore the ‘bluespace’ consortium adds a creative component to finding new applications , making a technology transfer more than just a license deal .
this coming year marks an exciting time for bluespace , as we look to celebrate our 15 year anniversary since our incorporation date . while many things have changed throughout the past years , one thing has remained the same …our deep - rooted passion for what we do , and the brands we do it for !
bluespace refers to the blank and , yes , very blue ( # 36465d , to be exact ) canvas tumblr has inadvertently created for users ' s desktop dashboards by widening posts and erasing the white borders . and what do you get when you give your hoards of photoshop - savvy users a blank canvas to play with ? this :
innovative office design and build solutions for commercial interiors in and around east anglia . clients who choose bluespace for their office interior design know to expect the unexpected . vitality and creative thinking are at the heart of all we do – to create modern workspaces with unique and inspirational styling whilst providing you with a workspace that is brilliantly functional .
so the case of bluespace is a welcome sight . at its simplest , it ' s a knee - jerk reaction to a new feature . dig deeper , and it ' s making tumblr even more of a platform for creativity than before . sites may dictate the way features appear to users , but users have the final say in figuring out just how they ' ll be used .
bluespace gates ( or just
gates
) are generally used for travel between distant star systems for the mass majority of ships which don ' t have their own bluespace drives . they form the ' highway ' of galactic travel , and are the basis of ftl transportation , as they allow fast travel to any other gate regardless of its distance . gates are generally 1 by 1 km and are ring - shaped with projectors facing inwards . gates are completely automated , and activated with a transmission to the gate ' s communication system . in this communication , you must include your ship id , faction , and intended location . gates will refuse to open for wanted personas , and will alert the closest authority if attempted to be accessed . gates will do the same for unregistered ships .
gates are used by virtually all ships without their own bluespace drives . due to the size of gates and how much they are used , incoming ships enter the gate on the right side , causing them to ' exit ' on the left in the mirrored gate , making gate travel much like a drive on earth . most gates are constructed by nanotrasen , who charge a small fee for each use of a gate ; 20 standard credits .
the first initiative is ‘space4earth innovation week’ , a collaboration with the university of antwerp . from 13 till 17 march 2017 master students ‘product development’ will use space technology to search for new applications . this initiative is supported by antwerp space , aurea ( antwerps universitair research centrum voor evenwicht en aerospace ) , lambda - x , qinetiq , space applications services , vito and voxdale . next ‘bluespace’ will launch the first open call for new incubation projects in may .
carried out by most vessels , beacon pinging is that act of sending a bluespace communication to a beacon one is planning on travelling to and waiting for a response signal from the beacon . it is especially useful in picking up suspicious activity as interdiction nets , whilst not blocking normal communication , will block a beacon ping . if a bing doesn ' t bounce back the beacon is either not operating for whatever reason or pirates are
fishing
nearby .
work and work relations are being completely transformed . professions , jobs , roles and titles are becoming , at the same time , blurred and specialized . the way in which organizations engage with talent will be very different in the near future from what we currently see / understand . bluespace is a company that really understands this emerging reality and is taking to the market a technology platform to enable corporations to mobilize and engage with the talent pool in a much more fluid and long - term perspective .
the ‘bluespace’ incubation program offers coaching , technological expertise and facilities to entrepreneurs , both high - tech start - ups as spin - offs . steven krekels , unit manager vito remote sensing : “space technologies for earth observation can really enrich and sharpen our industry . as a technological research center , we want to support innovations in the broadest sense . vito remote sensing realizes sustainable social solutions by focusing on innovative technologies that also have an economically self - sufficient story . europe is investing billions in programs such as galileo and copernicus . it is our mission to help those investments valorize for flanders . any entrepreneur who takes initiative in that domain , can count on our support to strengthen the flemish socio - economic web . ”
something looks different on tumblr . the blogging platform and social media network rolled out a new design thursday for its dashboard —the homepage where users create posts , track engagement , and scroll through the seemingly endless content from users they follow .
the update featured , to borrow the wording of the site ' s staff , just
two li ' l changes .
the first is a sticky header that keeps the buttons for creating new posts locked at the top of your window . the second is the deletion of the white space around posts , making images on the dashboard wider and border - free :
most use the space to have images spookily peek up from the bottom or burst through the middle of a post .
which makes this a unique case study in user reaction to yet another redesign of a social networking platform . sure , there are plenty of users griping about the new features , but there ' s also this massive group taking advantage of the design tweaks and transforming them into a collective art project away from what tumblr intended .
whether tumblr intended the blue space to become an extension of each post ' s canvas , of course , is unclear .
we went ahead and did it ,
the staff wrote in a post introducing the widening .
there was no reason not to .
this rollout is casual compared to tumblr ' s previous ones . when the site added a feature in august that allowed users to see blogs pop up on the right hand side of their dashboards instead of in a new tab , the announcement included instructions on what users should do . perhaps the less serious presentation of the wider posts prompted users to get creative .
most of the time , when social networking platforms introduce design changes , they ' re seen as constraints , not canvases . but it ' s not as if tumblr has always gotten their new features right . in 2012 , when tumblr released a
pinned post
feature , users revolted . the microblog disabled the option less than six months after launching it . other times , users treat the changes as a joke , pinning misleading tweets or uploading lo - res cover photos that defy the social network ' s intent . most users on most networks , however , simply ( if begrudgingly ) accept the changes .

extremely rare and extremely expensive and power hungry . capital interdiction drives are the only known sentient - made object that is capable of pulling capital space ships out of a blue space jump . their size means they require a tremendous amount of energy and to this end have space stations built around them . the only known capital interdiction drive in human space is located in a defensive platform orbiting unity station - the sol alliance capital .
these new discoveries - which often ended in tragedy as the artifacts hold mysterious , dangerous powers - has prompted nanotrasen to create an entirely new field of study : xenoarchaeology . the leading station for this field is the nss aurora , where a research outpost was created on an asteroid filled with xeno fossils and artifacts .
one of the most startling discoveries from xenobiology was the accidental discovery of what are now known as adamantine golems . the bipedal creatures are actually made of the gelatin slime substance solidified completely until it has the resilience of iron . it is theorized that they are in the same family as slimes , and are used to accomplish tasks too complex for the regular slimes .
due to being mostly harmless and possessing limited intelligence but a desire to work and please their creator , golems have recently been granted allowance to work very basic civilian or assistant roles under supervision on nanotrasen research stations . however , they must leave with the next crew transfer and be handed over to the central command xenobiology division for further study .

their home was no longer inhabitable and their outbuildings had been destroyed — even the family ' s free - range chickens had been utterly wiped from the face of the south carolina farm . the blast was so powerful it cracked windows and walls in the small community of mars bluff , about 5 miles ( 8 kilometers ) away from the family farm .
despite some powerful unbelievers in influential government positions , the course was set for air power and its important role in the wars of the future . great britain recognized this importance by creating the royal air force in april 1918 . while men like brigadier general billy mitchell fought for an american force equivalent to the raf , the united states would take several more years before coming into agreement about the importance of having a separate air force . the army reorganization act of 1920 kept the air service a combat arm of the army for a long time after . years later , in june 1941 , the army air forces was created and made an equal counterpart to the ground forces of the army .
air marshal skills – after they have passed the basic training course , candidates go to the faa william j . hughes technical center in new jersey where they further develop the skills they learned at the fletc . they train for sixteen weeks in the federal air marshal service training program ii .
in january 1953 , the gregg family moved into a stoutly constructed home in a rural part of eastern south carolina , on land that had been in their family for 100 years . they had no idea that five years later , they would earn the dubious honor of being the first and only family to survive the first and only atomic bomb dropped on american soil — by americans .
and the bedroom , which thanks to mr . gregg’s pals at the air force , has been converted into a sun room , free of charge .

a similar incident occurred just a month before the south carolina accident , when a midair collision between a bomber and a fighter jet on a training mission caused a
safed
hydrogen bomb to fall near savannah , georgia . the incident was less dramatic than the mars bluff one , as the bomb plunged into the water off the coast of nearby tybee island , damaging no property and leaving no visible impact crater .
although smaller in size , the post - cold war air force has had increased participation in contingency operations in the 1990 ' s . while maintaining units in the persian gulf area to deter saddam hussein from threatening neighboring countries , the air force has supported peacekeeping and humanitarian operations in somalia ( restore hope ) , rwanda ( support hope ) , haiti ( uphold democracy ) and the balkans ( provide promise and deny flight ) . also , to stop a bloody civil war in bosnia , af aircraft made precision strikes against serbian assets in operation deliberate force in late 1995 . on the unstable korean peninsula , the air force has continued in providing deterrents aimed at the communist northern government , while supporting the democratic south .
the week started with two swamp fox f - 16s flying to colombia and meeting up with the colombian air force ' s kfirs , based in palenquero for some mid - air training . the series of radio drills and intercepts which lasted for an hour and a half were aimed at assisting the colombians in preparing for red flag in march 2018 .
and as for the playhouse , that was ground zero - so other than an 70x35 foot crater , there really wasn’t anything left for the air force to take pictures of .
the mark 6 bomb that fell onto this remote area of south carolina weighed 7 , 600 pounds ( 3 . 4 metric tons ) and was 10 feet , 8 inches ( 3 . 3 meters ) long . with a maximum diameter of 61 inches ( 1 . 5 meters ) , the mark 6 had an inflated , cartoon - like quality , reminiscent of something wile e . coyote would order from the acme co . its capabilities , however , were no laughing matter .
u . s . air force col . nick gentile , commander of the 169th fighter wing , called the experience both
productive
and
a positive bi - lateral exercise
.
bonovich , and the other swamp fox airmen , who came for the air show spent their week interacting with the public , shaking hands , exchanging hugs and posing for thousands of pictures .
the cold war saw a rapid growth of airpower in a different way in comparison to the buildup of world war ii . the central focus was long - range bombers that could deliver nuclear weapons to the soviet union . the soviet - backed invasion of south korea by communist north korea pulled the air force into a tough three - year conflict . along with the action in korea , the armed forces began to place air power in multiple theatres of the world to help deter the expansion of communism while helping to defend the united states . u . s . air bases in europe began the cornerstone to the political and geographical power of the north atlantic treaty organization ( nato ) . nato was created as a counter to the soviet - led warsaw pact of eastern european countries . this use of u . s . airpower would continue to facilitate peaceful relations during the cold war for the next 40 years .
in the 1970 ' s , the air force focused on investing in the production of new , more advanced aircraft and satellite platforms . some of the new aircraft to commission during this time were the a - 10 thunderbolt ii , f - 15 eagle , f - 16 fighting falcon , e - 3 sentry and m - x peacekeeper . all of these systems helped to further the air force ' s future missions involving air supremacy and dominance . in the ensuing decade , the air force ' s capabilities began to expand even more with the building of the f - 117a stealth fighter . its substantial power in combat was proven in several contingency operations in the 1980 ' s including the seizure of grenada in 1983 ( urgent fury ) , the raid on libya in 1986 ( el dorado canyon ) and the invasion of panama in 1989 ( just cause ) .
today , military - grade nuclear weapons can take more knocking around without exploding . in fact , accidents like that at mars bluff caused the air force to make changes . no longer could a nuclear weapon be set off by concussion ; it would require a specific electrical impulse instead . and within days of accidentally dropping a bomb on u . s . soil , the air force published regulations that locking pins must be inserted in nuclear bomb shackles at all times — even during takeoff and landing .
although the event was written about extensively at the time - and it gets brought up whenever an outlet’s having a slow news day - a 2012 foia request by carlton purvis led to the release of some rarely - seen photos of the air force investigation into the incident .

on the ground , all five members of the gregg family were injured , as was young cousin ella , who required 31 stitches . it wasn ' t until the family was recuperating at the home of the family doctor that evening that they learned that the source of destruction had been a bomb dropped by the u . s . air force .

aqi : unhealthy for sensitive groups ( 101 - 150 ) although general public is not likely to be affected at this aqi range , people with lung disease , older adults and children are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone , whereas persons with heart and lung disease , older adults and children are at greater risk from the presence of particles in the air .
then , at 4 : 19 p . m . , a member of the crew aboard a u . s . air force b - 47e bomber accidentally released a nuclear weapon that landed on the girls ' playhouse and the family ' s nearby garden , creating a massive crater with a circumference of 50 feet ( 15 meters ) and depth of 35 feet ( 10 meters ) .
fresh air with terry gross , the peabody award - winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues , is one of public radio ' s most popular programs . each week , nearly 4 . 5 million people listen to the show ' s intimate conversations broadcast on more than 450 national public radio ( npr ) stations across the country , as well as in europe on the world radio network .
the greggs ended up suing the air force for their trouble , and settled for $ 54 , 000 - just shy of $ 450 , 000 today . to put that in perspective , ten years later , johnny cash would burn down an entire forest , and was fined $ 82 , 000 , or $ 570 , 000 . half a million to drop a nuke on a house ? that’s a steal !
in 1977 , the greggs sold the 4 acres ( 2 hectares ) that had been their home site . from the road , there is little evidence that it had once been the site of an air force bombing , aside from a small roadside historical marker on u . s . route 301 . to reach the site you have to travel into an abandoned space that once housed a trailer park , and walk through an overgrown path that leads to what remains of the crater , significantly smaller , usually full of stagnant water and now marked by a plywood sign .
it was the height of the cold war , when global powers vied for nuclear dominance . but it was an oops for the ages . not only did the gregg girls and their cousin narrowly miss becoming the first people killed by an atomic bomb on u . s . soil , but they now had a hole on their farm in which they could easily park a couple of school buses . their garden ceased to exist ; the playhouse seemed to have disappeared into thin air , save a small piece of tin from the roof ; and the family home sat at a tilted angle , no longer flush with the foundation , surrounded by parts of itself .

these achievable standards comply with a law that has been in place for nearly two decades . to develop these standards , epa worked extensively with a broad array of stakeholders , including the public , environmental and health groups and industry , receiving over 900 , 000 public comments which helped inform the final standard .
these standards will put an end to 20 years of industry uncertainty and level the playing field for power plants across the country - over half of which are already using widely available pollution control technology and are forced to compete with facilities that have taken advantage of loopholes , or with aging plants , often 40 years old or older , that have never been updated with modern pollution controls .

on march 11 , 1958 , two of the greggs ' children — helen , 6 , and frances , 9 — entertained their 9 - year - old cousin ella davies . the girls were horsing around in a playhouse adjacent to the family ' s garden while nearby , the gregg girls ' father , walter , and brother , walter jr . , worked in a toolshed .
by midafternoon , the sisters and their cousin had wandered about 200 feet ( 60 meters ) away from the playhouse and were playing in the yard beside their home . inside , their mother sat sewing in the front parlor .
earlier that day , a specialized crew was part of a training exercise that would require the bomb to be loaded into an airplane and flown from savannah , georgia , to england . as the mock mission , detailed in this american heritage account , began , it took more than an hour to load the bomb into the plane . after placing the bomb into a shackle mechanism designed to keep it in place , the crew had a hard time getting a steel locking pin to engage . they solved the issue by lifting the weight of the plane ' s bomb shackle mechanism and putting it onto a sling , then hitting the offending pin with a hammer until it locked into position .
the mission was being timed , and the crew was under pressure to catch up . following regulations , the captain disengaged the locking pin from the nuclear weapon so it could be dropped in an emergency during takeoff . when the airplane reached altitude , he tried to re - engage the pin from the cockpit controls , but because of the earlier makeshift solution , it wouldn ' t budge . the pilot asked the bombardier to leave his post and engage the pin by hand — something the bombardier had never done before . in fact , he didn ' t even know where the pin was located . after searching for more than 10 minutes , he pulled himself up to look over the bomb ' s curved belly .
unfortunately , as he was trying to steady himself , the bombardier chose the emergency bomb - release mechanism for his handhold . the nuclear bomb immediately dropped from its shackle and landed , for just an instant , on the closed bomb - bay doors . above it , the bombardier ' s body made an x as he hung on for dear life . as he scrambled to safety , the atomic bomb broke open the doors in the belly of the plane , and dropped straight onto the greggs ' farm .
herein lies the silver lining . the atomic bomb was not fully functional . it had been
safed
for transport , meaning that the radioactive part of the bomb ' s payload was removed and was being moved in a different plane .
in the 1950s , nuclear weapons had a trigger that compressed the uranium / plutonium core to begin the chain reaction of a nuclear explosion . nuclear bombs like the one dropped on the greggs could be set off , or triggered , by concussion — like being struck by a bullet or making hard contact with the ground . in the greggs ' case , the bomb ' s trigger did explode and cause damage . if the nuclear components had been present , catastrophe would have ensued .
not too many people can say they ' ve had a nuclear bomb dropped on them ,
walter gregg told local newspaper the sun news in 2003 .
not too many would want to .
the greggs remained in touch with the crew , who reportedly felt badly about dropping a bomb on them . for years , crew members continued to correspond with the family via letters , and one even visited the family for a week ' s vacation decades after the incident .
muckrock logo the muckrock logo depicts an electronic document with an antennae inscribed inside a circle .
as well as buildings b and c ( a garage and children’s playhouse , respectively ) , walter gregg and his family is pretty clearly the aggrieved party in this scenario . this is how the garage turned out …
again , the blast was not nuclear - the core had been removed for transit - but the mark 6 was still packed with the traditional explosives used to set off the chain reaction , and weighed in the ballpark of 7 , 600 - 8 , 500 pounds . one of those lands in your backyard , it’s going to ruin your day .
although the back , which was facing the explosion , didn’t quite come out so well .
the inside of the house however , was absolutely destroyed - here we have the dining room , where the remarkably alive mrs . gregg was working at the time of the blast …
so , what happen ? according to the inquiry , somebody didn’t set up the bomb properly . while en route to england for a training exercise , captain earl e . koehler of the 375th bombardment squadron noticed an emergency light which indicated that their payload wasn’t properly harnessed .
a loose nuke being sufficient cause for alarm , koehler sent the navigator , bruce m . kulka , in to go lock the bomb back into place before it caused any serious damage .
turns out , kulka had to get on top of the bomb in order to reset the locking mechanism , so he reached around for something to use as a handhold … and accidentally pulled the emergency release .
that’s kulka all the way on there right there , with the expression that reads “i’m really sorry i blew up your house . ”
