In the 1957 the US military dropped a nuclear bomb just outside of
Albuquerque. They didn't mean to, it just fell out. Good thing it wasn't
armed...

22 May 1957
A 10 megaton hydrogen bomb was accidentally dropped from a bomber in an
uninhabited area near Albuquerque, New Mexico owned by the University of
New Mexico. The conventional explosives detonated, creating a 12 foot deep
crater 25 feet across in which some radiation was detected.
