: Do you know that there is a B-29 sitting at the bottom of
: Lake Mead? I did this story about two years ago and George
: Napp at KLAS TV in Las Vegas did the same story more rece
: ntly, and with no more information than I had, if I may ad
: d! There has been much interest in this particular plane t
: hat was called "The Beetle Bomb." It went down in '48 whil
: e doing high altitude solar and gama ray testing for Johns
: Hopkins University and the agency that preceded the DOE.
: The atomic energy commission I think. Anyway, everyone esc
: aped with their lives, it is a great story.
