Danger will always be present when it comes to transporting nuclear weapons.
I think the issue here, is that the bombs had warheads on them. They put the bombs on the aircraft, but they forgot to remove the warheads. I'm not sure, but I suppose they do transport warheads by air -- just not attached to bombs that are mounted on the aircraft.
