About 1:40am today in 1964, a B-52D flying from Westover AFB, MA, to Turner AFB, GA, following a diversion from a CHROME DOME airborne alert mission, encountered severe turbulence in a blizzard, lost its tail section, and crashed on Big Savage Mt., ~17 mi. SW of Cumberland, MD. 
The aircraft carried two war reserve 9-Mt B53 thermonuclear bombs. Pilot Maj. Thomas W. McCormick (42), ejected and trudged six hours through deep snow to a farmhouse. Co-pilot Capt. Parker Peedin (29) also ejected and was found by searchers more than 36 hours after the crash.
Navigator Robert L. Payne (41) and tailgunner Melvin Wooten (27) also ejected but succumbed to sub-freezing temperatures attempting to find shelter. Bombardier Robert. L. Townley (42) did not eject and died on impact. The two bombs were recovered damaged but relatively intact.
Here is co-pilot Parker Peedin years later recounting in detail the cause of the crash and its aftermath:
