Those where intact weapons with all the safeties on and in a few of those case only a few of the safties didn't fail.
These are partially dissembled war heads that do not have all the safties in place.
Quite a bit of difference there.

These are partially dissembled war heads that do not have all the safties in place. If the "pit" is exposed to be dismantled then the tamper casing is not there to reflect the fast neutrons back and sustain a symmetrical reaction -- it will not go critical. At most you will get the pit broken up and spread around the room from the force of the HE.
