They had a conventional weapons accidental explosion in the 80's that took out 1/5th of their total available munitions and wiped an entire city off of the map. It was such a large explosion that is registered on the Richter Scale. For years we were convinced that they had a really big nuke go off accidentally. It was not until the wall fell that we found out the truth.
