A behind the scene’s shot of the first shot of my new documentary film project Buzz One Four. This location is the site of a different ‘Broken Arrow’ incident, this one involving a B-52 crash outside of Yuba City California (just north of Sacramento) in 1961. The Air Force has confirmed 32 Broken Arrows (incidents in which a nuclear bomb is lost, accidentally jettisoned, or temporarily out of control) in the US, though that number is likely much, much higher.
Crashed planes, lost nuclear bombs, and an Air Force cover-up: a filmmaker unpacks the secret history of how his grandfather nearly blew-up the eastern seaboard.
