A bomber carrying the bombs crashed into its refueling jet causing the disaster. Two of the bombs' parachutes didn't open and the explosives around the nuclear core exploded scattering radiation across the countryside. The U.S. and Spain reached an agreement to clean up the soil, but it still hasn't been done.
