Back in 1966 the US accidently dropped 4 nuclear bombs on Palomares, Spain when one of our B52s collided with its refueling tanker.

A local fisherman saw one of them go into the water and helped our military locate it, but he was claiming ocean salvage rights and wanted them to pay him $5 million for it. Good luck! The US ended up giving him $10,000 for his help.
