You learn something new every day.

When the bomb hit the ground, a firing signal was sent to the nuclear core of the device and it was only the final, highly vulnerable switch that averted a disaster.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'

Saddest part is, if that thing had gone off I bet the U.S. would have changed nothing about our Nuclear Weapons policy.  We would still have the same number of weapons and handle them the same way.

This isn't the first time the U.S. had nukes fall out of the sky.

Very lucky indeed.  If it had gone off it could have also been interpreted as an attack on the US, and triggered some else.
