tonight on the smithsonian channel was a fairly interresting show on the island of tinian,they were searching for "dumped" remains of fatboy and tallman (or whatever they were called) nuke bombs that may have been dumped in the sea at the end of WWII,i did not know they seeded the islands with trees and plants after the war to discurage future use..and i never knew that a few B29s ( 15 of them? ) had reversable props...

I'd like to watch that show. I don't get the Smithsonian Channel (never heard of it before), but perhaps it will show up on one of the educational channels.
