Same thing happened in the county I live in....a B-52 crashed carrying a Nuclear Bomb in a swamp surrounded by farm land and the Air Force spent years digging & looking and never found it.  Just part of the deal once we started flying them around I guess.  spyder

The accident near Goldsboro was in 1961 Spyder.  That incident actually dropped two bombs.  Both were intentional ejections of the payload because they knew the plane was going down.  One of the bombs parachuted down and was found in a tree.  Lots of different stories over the years about the fail safes in that weapon not behaving as well as they should have.  The other weapon was never known to be recovered.  Buried somewhere.  Supposedly still a small exclusion zone where folks aren't supposed to go?  Is that something the locals know about?

2012 Tybee Island Beach Bum Parade.

This popular annual tradition on Tybee Island features a parade as well as a massive island-wide water fight. Spectators lined up along the parade route on Butler Avenue will be armed with squirt guns and hoses, as will parade participants on floats.

THE RULES:
           
Water balloons, buckets and pressure washers are prohibited and considered dangerous. No ice water. Restrict your targets to parade participants and on-lookers only. Do not attempt to aim your hose or water gun at a police officer. Residents and visitors are asked to use common sense in choosing and soaking your targets. It is illegal to open car doors or homes to spray inside.

Beach Bum Parade History:

It all started approximately 25 years ago, when a softball team called the “Beach Bums” was challenged to a game by “Pier 1,” another Tybee softball team. The Beach Bums won the game and, afterwards, both teams drove up and down Butler Avenue with police escorts as the players bombed each other with water balloons. Before they knew it, there was a water fight in the making. Since then, the event has become the Tybee Island Beach Bum Parade, known far and wide as a favorite annual
