The Damascus Incident (w. War_Takes)

In September 1980, a fuel leak in a Titan II missile silo came close to turning Damascus, Arkansas, into a crater. This week, we're joined by guest @War_Takes (x.com/War_Takes) to talk about the atomic spud gun, the folks who fought to prevent it, and how they were punished for their efforts.
