DOD: Because of an in-flight aircraft emergency, a weapon containing no capsule of nuclear material was jettisoned over water from an altitude of 10,500 feet. A high-explosive detonation was observed.

CDI: There is no record of recovery of this nuclear weapon.

(Look into claims that the bomb was dropped over the St. Lawrence River?)
