Nags Head Mayor Quimbly is reportedly furious over new reports of violations of the nuclear agreement signed between his Town and Kill Devil Hills just last year. The two Outer Banks superpowers concluded the “8th Street Accords” in 2018, agreeing to limitations on weapons in all three branches of the so-called nuclear triad: land, sea and air.
A photo taken by a reporter on an unrelated assignment for National Geographic inadvertently captured the construction of what appears to be a new nuclear silo near the Glorious Leader Park in KDH. The reporter, Jerald Rivero, said he was photographing the rare KDH Revolutionary Pigeon feeding near the People’s Centre in the middle of Kill Devil Hills at the time. He was unaware of the importance of the photo until he was going through all the picture he’d taken that day. Mayor Quimby was swift to react once the photo became public. “This is a direct violation of the terms of last year’s agreement,” he said. “We call on Kill Devil Hills to immediately cease construction and honor their commitment to peace between our towns.”
Kill Devil Hills Supreme Mayor Roo Davees has not spoken publicly on the controversy. An undersecretary for the Defense Ministry has gone on record stating that the photo actually shows a “water park or water tower, something that is definitely not a missile silo” and that an investigation is underway in relation to this “clearly unauthorized” construction and Hillary Clinton’s emails.
