Today in History: A Missing Nuke

On this day (February 5) in 1958 the U.S. lost a Mark 15 Nuclear Bomb off the coast of Georgia. The bomb was jettisoned from a B-47 Bomber as a safety precaution after it collided with a F-16 Fighter during a practice exercise. Extensive searching for the bomb failed to find it. It sounds like the great starting point for a thriller.
