Air Force says officers fell asleep with nuke code --July 12 incident was at Minot AFB, location of other incidents 24 Jul 2008 Three Air Force officers fell asleep [All three?] while in control of an electronic component that contained old launch codes for nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles, a violation of procedure, Air Force officials said Thursday. It is the fourth incident in the past year involving problems with secure handling of components of America's nuclear weapons. The incident occurred July 12, during the changing out of components used to facilitate secure communications between an underground missile-control facility and missile silos near Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, according to Col. Dewey Ford, a spokesman for the Air Force Space Command in Colorado. [See: Minot AFB Clandestine Nukes 'Oddities' 17 Sep 2007.]
Falling Asleep on The Job: Minot Air Force Base 25 Jul 2008 The Air Force says three nuclear missile crew members at the Minot Air Force Base fell asleep while holding secret missile launch codes. The incident on July 12th triggered an investigation... Last month, Defense Secretary Robert Gates ousted the Air Force's top leadership because of foul-ups involving nuclear weapons. One of them involved the Minot base. A B-52 Bomber at the base was loaded with nuclear bombs and flown to Louisiana without anyone immediately knowing that the plane was carrying nukes.
Air Force declares lost B-52 crew dead 24 Jul 2008 In a solemn statement early Wednesday, 2nd Bomb Wing Commander Col. Robert Wheeler bore bitter news of tragedy to Barksdale Air Force Base and the surrounding community. The Air Force and Coast Guard have given up hope any of the six crew members of a Barksdale B-52 that crashed Sunday north of Guam are alive. Five of the lost airmen were assigned to the 2nd Bomb Wing. The only other base in the world at which B-52s are permanently assigned is Minot Air Force Base, N.D. Its 5th Wing has been peppered for years with 2nd Bomb Wing personnel, and vice-versa, and it has not been unusual over the years for a commander or a vice commander to move from the 5th Wing to the 2nd Bomb Wing.
Hole in Qantas plane forces emergency landing 25 Jul 2008 A Qantas plane carrying 350 people was ripped open at 30,000 feet today, sucking the pressure from the cabin and forcing a rapid plunge to an emergency landing in the Philippines. The Boeing 747-400 jet had left Hong Kong an hour earlier en route from London to Melbourne when part of its fuselage broke away, leaving a hole running four metres down the right side. Passengers described hearing a loud bang before air and debris rushed through the cabin and the plane "dropped suddenly" as the pilot made an emergency descent to Manila.
