American ones cannot detonate simply by dropping them

And you know this how? Accidents can happen. Even the chance of the bombs going off from 0% to 0.01% is scary. Double parachutes failing happens...

Have you heard? Common sense is not too common.

What he's saying is that the trigger devices have to be detonated in a very specific order to produce a nuclear explosion. The nukes wouldn't have gone off if the plane had simply crashed, but there would have been several hundred pounds of radioactive material spread over the landscape. 

The worrisome thing is that this material was loaded onto a plane by accident. That's the way shit ends up disappearing. What if the missiles had been inteded for a live-fire exercise, or if the plane had gone down over the ocean or over foreign soil?
