oh my god. Imagine being Whoopi and hearing that though.
Well,
when I was nine years old Star Trek came on,“ Goldberg says. “I looked
at it and I went screaming through the house, ‘Come here, mum,
everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television
and she ain’t no maid!’ I knew right then and there I could be anything I
wanted to be.” - See more at:

That’s three generations. Nichelle Nichols to Whoopi Goldberg to Leslie Jones.
On September 18th, 1980, Americans
came very close to nuclear disaster.
During maintenance on a Titan II missile
in an Arkansas silo, an airman dropped
a wrench, which plummeted 70 feet and
punctured the missile, spraying rocket
fuel everywhere. The incident was
quickly covered up, but had the bomb
exploded, millions would have been
killed or irradiated. Source
Nuclear bombs don’t just explode. They have a bunch of failsafes to ensure they only detonate when you want them to. They don’t chainfire like other munitions.
The rocket exploded as some soldiers re-entered the complex to ascertain the severity of the situation. The blast door was flung high into the air and landed nearby. The warhead was also blown out and it landed a bit further away. All of its safety mechanisms operated correctly, so it landed intact and sealed.
The people who went back in were killed in the blast of the rocket, unfortunately. The base was then dismantled to prevent further incidents there.
Folks. Please don’t support freebooters who reupload videos without crediting or linking. This one is especially bad, linking back to a Facebook page which is pretty much just about freebooting and tries to tell you stolen t-shirt designs.
When you see a post like this, have the good reflex of linking the actual source so that the original creator gets credited. It’s usually really not that hard to find with a simple Google search! Thank you!
