Narrative:
Mid-air collision with a B-52G (58-0256) nuclear bomber during a refueling operation at FL300; the KC-135 exploded and caused the B-52 to break up.
Palomares saltó a los medios internacionales el 17 de enero de 1966, cuando dos aviones de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, colisionaron y perdieron cuatro bombas nucleares frente a sus costas, tres en tierra y una en el mar Mediterráneo. Este accidente se conoce como Incidente de Palomares.
Como la ruta de los aparatos que colisionaron en vuelo es desconocida (secretos militares...) nos la inventaremos...
