FOX’s Jill Nado has details from Washington:
The Air Force says three airmen made maintenance errors and wound up damaging a nuclear missile.
The accident happened back in May of 2014, but the Air Force hadn’t released any details until they were pressured by the Associated Press.
The Air Force issuing a statement, saying, “the mistake cost the men their nuclear certification and made them the focus of an investigation.”
That missile’s been taken from its silo at a launch site run by the 320th missile squadron of the 90th missile wing somewhere in Northeastern Colorado. The Air Force is saying the public was never in danger.
