The 1980 Damascus Arkansas missile accident is about as close as a nuclear weapon has ever come to detonating on U.S. soil. This nuclear event in Damascus Arkansas is a story to remember. See how much damage one hand tool accidently puncturing a fuel tank can do.
Check out the video to find out how close the southern United States came to a nuclear apocalypse. The Titan II Launch Complex 374-7, just north of Damascus AR, became the site of the most highly publicized disaster in the history of the Titan II missile program when its missile exploded within the launch silo on September 19, 1980. An Air Force airman was killed, and the complex was destroyed. The Titan II Missile Launch Complex 374-7 Site was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on February 18, 2000.
