HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

Gives them a way to jettison the bomb in an emergency, like before a forced landing or crash. A flaming pile of wrecked airplane is bad enough without a nuke also being on fire

Or gives person with a conscience a way out of vaporizing a few hundred thousand people.
