The John Burke didn't explode because she was weak she exploded because she was carrying everything needed to keep others fighting, one kamikaze strike and duty turned to dust in seconds

Footage of Early flight trials of Fly-by-wire on the Avro 707C. The 707 was introduced as a test bed aircraft in 1949. It was 1/3 scale of the Vulcan and used to test flight characteristics of tailless aircraft. The C version had side by side seating, for this trial the left stick was direct link to control surfaces and right stick was fly by wire.😎

Dr. Christopher T. Yeaw, the Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control and Nonproliferation, has stated that the United States is prepared to resume small-scale nuclear explosion tests in order to “level the playing field,” if the order to do so is given by President Donald J. Trump, citing secret nuclear tests in recent years by both China and Russia. During a talk yesterday at the Hudson Institute, Dr. Yeaw provided additional details about a specific nuclear explosion test carried out by China at the Lop Nur Nuclear Test in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on June 22, 2020, which caused a seismic tremor measured at 2.75M to be detected at a station in Kazakhstan.

During combat operations over the Philippines, U.S. Navy gunner Loyce Edward Deen was lost while flying aboard a TBM Avenger. The damage was so severe that his crewmates could not recover him from the aircraft. In a final act of respect, they committed the plane to the sea with Deen still inside (1944).

Physicist Hans-Benjamin Braun claims the December 15–16, 2024 explosion in Tartus, Syria may have been caused by a very small nuclear device of about 0.3 kilotons. The blast reportedly produced a seismic signal equivalent to about a magnitude 3.0–3.1 earthquake, which he says fits the expected yield of such a weapon. He also points to radiation spikes detected at monitoring stations in Cyprus and parts of Turkey about 16 hours later, which he interprets as fallout carried by the wind, along with reported radiation levels near the explosion site that he says match a low-yield nuclear detonation. He also says that this was not the only low-yield nuclear weapon used in the recent conflicts. If this is true, it would mean we are already in a limited nuclear strikes scenario, with the next stage being World War III and full nuclear war before the geophysical event. This is the alleged nuclear explosion. Keep in mind that if this was a 0.3 kiloton bomb, it would be about 50 times weaker than the Hiroshima bomb.
