On September 18, 1980, an ICBM missile hidden underground in the Ozarks sprung a leak in one of its fuel tanks. Hours later, the missile exploded, destroying the silo and command complex and sending twisted metal and a fireball thousands of feet in the air. The missile used a W-53 warhead that yielded 9 megatons of damage.

I would have died from massive radiation exposure a few days after any detonation.
But... this story isn't that well known here. They do an expose on it occasionally, but only a small minority of people could tell you anything about it. I doubt many people even know there were missiles here.
