Recently released government documents indicate that over the past 50 years, American military operations have been responsible for the loss or disappearance of 12 Atomic weapons. How could this happen? What are the consequences? Each account is explored in frightening detail through interviews with the actual pilots that erroneously dropped the deadly weapons. In Savannah, the boggy home to families of residential fisherman, we join investigators as they dredge and wade through the mire in search of what experts believe to be an armed nuclear warhead. "If we've lost 12, how many have they lost?"
