[Dept. of You-Can’t-Make-This-Up]
On the very same day the 5th Munitions Squadron loaded six nuclear warheads on a B-52 for transport out of Minot AFB (don’t worry, five showed up in Barksdale) they released this press release:

Enjoy a safe Labor Day weekend
Commentary by Col. Bruce Emig
5th Bomb Wing commander
8/30/2007 - MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D.

…. and urge you all once again to please keep safety in mind in all you do!

Don’t worry, it’s since been scrubbed.

or was he in his quarters?

(briefly recalls a couple of off-duty incidents that were a Dan Wesson revolver trigger pull from being ”accidental” shootings during a previous life PCS Barksdale, and remembers to be thankful they turned out the way they did instead)
