THE DIGEST
The Tybee Bomb: Savannah’s Forgotten Mystery

In February 1958, a routine Air Force training mission over Georgia became the origin of one of the region's greatest mysteries. After colliding mid-air with a fighter jet, a B-47 bomber dropped its 7,600 pound nuclear bomb into the waters off Tybee Island to ensure a safe landing. The "Tybee Bomb" was never recovered.
