Synopsis

In 1968 a US B52 plane with nuclear bombs on board crashed in Greenland. The bombs did not detonate but, nearly 50 years later, questions remain over whether all were recovered. Jens Zinglersen was the first to the crash site. (Photo: Jens Zinglersen in polar bear trousers at Thule airbase. Credit: Private collection)
