Context:In the 1960s, during the height of the Cold War, the CIA and India’s intelligence agency teamed up to place a nuclear-powered spying device on Nanda Devi, one of the tallest peaks in the Himalayas. The goal was to monitor activities across the northern border. But during the mission, extreme weather forced the team to abandon the equipment, leaving it somewhere on the mountain. When they returned later, it had vanished-possibly buried under ice or carried away by landslides. The device was never found, raising long-term concerns about both environmental safety and the mystery of lost technology at such a high altitude.

Yeah we lost way more nukes than anyone wants to admit.
Turns out the guys who read the predictions that a few hundred Hiroshima -sized nukes could functionally annihilate humanity, and and then decided to build thousands of the ones that were hundreds of times stronger, were irresponsible
