On 21 January 1968 a B52 bomber crashed in Greenland. The plane was armed with nuclear warheads which needed to be recovered to prevent an environmentally catastrophy and to prevent them falling into Russian hands. Turns out there´s still one nuke unaccounted for, buried in the snow somewhere. Thule air force base is at the top of the world of immense strategic importance which is why the base was being protected. The concern now is more towards environmental health rather than the old cold-war enemey.
