Potential nuclear detonation speculation

The text says it is unknown if these bombs would have been detonated had the tornado hit the aircraft. This statement appears to be referenced but checking the reference, it is not. This then seems like superfluous material - might as well say the author of the article does not know. Of course if there had been notable public concern over this in the media at the time then that might be a referenceable matter. Geopersona (talk) 03:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

:I'd assume so. I'll check Newspapers.com to see if they have anything. EF5 14:41, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
