The Socket That Nearly Destroyed America
A nine-pound socket wrench slips from a technician's hand. It tumbles seventy feet down a missile silo, punctures a fuel tank, and sets in motion events that could have detonated a nuclear warhead three times more powerful than every bomb dropped in World War II-on American soil. This isn't a Hollywood thriller. It happened in Damascus, Arkansas, on September 18, 1980, and most Americans have never heard about it. What followed wasn't just an industrial accident but a terrifying glimpse into the fragile systems controlling weapons capable of ending civilization. The Damascus incident exposed a disturbing truth: the arsenal built to protect us has repeatedly come within a hair's breadth of destroying us.
