Broken Arrow on at McGuire Air Force Base
'ReVelle first responded to a Broken Arrow on June 7, 1960, at McGuire Air Force Base near Trenton, N.J. A high-pressure helium tank had exploded, rupturing the fuel tanks of an air defense missile with a two-minute launch sequence.
Safety devices worked properly and prevented detonation, but the fire-suppression system couldn’t keep the warhead from being destroyed.' USAF Report: McGuire AFB Broken Arrow
