7 Shocking Things You Had No Idea Happened In South Carolina

Ok, so there are some oddly named places in South Carolina but Sugar Tit, even though it's unincorporated, takes the prize in my book. Do you know of other unusually named spots in the state? Let us know in the Facebook comments section below.

This unfortunate incident - known as the 1958 Mars Bluff B 47 Nuclear Weapon Loss happened in SC when a series of mishaps on board the plane carrying the bomb resulted in the emergency pin getting dislodged. The bomb broke free, falling through the plane's floor and nosediving 14,000 feet to the Palmetto State. The impact damaged several buildings and created a crater 75-feet across and 35-feet deep. Most notably though, the impact injured six people. They sued the government and were collectively awarded a whopping $54,000.

Damage extended all the way to the Upstate. That disaster killed approximately 100 people. If the same quake were to occur today it's estimated there would be 45,000 casualties.

In 2011 authorities discovered a 50-acre collection of tires in Calhoun County that was so big it was said to be visible from space. There were an estimated 250,000 tires in the illegal dump. Recent accounts claim the cleanup efforts are still underway.

It's a "Breach of Promise" to take back a proposal of marriage in SC. That's right...with the high costs of throwing a wedding these days it isn't cheap to get hitched...and in South Carolina it isn't cheap to change your mind beforehand, either.
