B-52 Thule
21/01/1968A B-52 came down in the Thule area of Greenland after a fire broke out inside the plane. With four H-bombs on board. It crashed on the frozen sea. The plutonium which ignites the heavy-hydrogen bombs was lost and never recovered. Still spread in the sea near Thule airbase. The officials declared it harmless. But shot all wild foxes in the area.
One man died bones smashed, parachute burnt. Another had two feet and one hand frozen until he was found after 20 hours in the dark and coldness down to almost 40 degrees Celsius.
The american aircraft crash at Thule was number 14 with atom bombs.
I have no clear idea how many accidents with military and civil nuclear material happened till now in East and West from Hiroshima, Tschernobyl to Fukushima. Or if anyone knows at all the true figure and what happened. But what u can say is all life and mankind since the end of WW II has to cope with radioactive elements unknown before. Perhaps people get single for this reason. They split into atoms.
And eat radio mushrooms.
Today after 11 a.m. 70 cranes were sailing south and passing just above me. So glad having seen them.
