Just to keep it straight...

Nuclear weapons in transport, or at any time until just before you drop one on something, are not armed or fuzed. Neither were these. It is impossible to detonate one under those conditions.

Real hazards of a crash involve the possibility of the normal "TNT" explosives inside a bomb going off, and spreading unexploded nuclear material around the area, requiring extensive radioactive cleanup.
