    I wonder if the fact that none have actually exploded yet means that we should be reassured that the vast majority wouldn’t actually work.

    Or, possibly, just have had their components and fuel stripped decades ago and they’re just being “maintained” to keep up appearances for higher-ups. That one is definitely true in at least some cases.
