Nuclear Accidents
We know of nearly 70 military nuclear accidents since 1950. These include several incidents of lost or missing nuclear weapons. Many incidents have involved explosions and/or fires or some other mechanism for spreading fissile material. There were also a number of times when a nuclear war was narrowly averted. There are undoubtedly many more we do not (and may never) know about.
