I guess the same happened to the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August the 6th and 9th, but they had no chance to post it. Though this is an extreme case, in January 1966 the same happened in southern Spain when a B-52 crashed with a KC-135 during refueling over Palomares in Almería. Nobody knows why they [the bombs] did not blow up!!!
The area is still affected by radiation. That´s fact.

Hey folks, none of this is making me feel any better. Up until now, I've been primarily concerned with the meteor that will eventually hit us. Gee, 'ignorance is bliss.'

That´s why we try to keep on topic!!!
But don´t worry: if such a meteor hit us, the off topic issue won´t be an issue anymore!

Well, my legitimate question would be, is there a real danger of these super-weapons being disturb and somehow becoming active.
