Nuclear weapon is terrible. This is a fatal threat. What more terrible thing has happened since it appeared? Treat it irresponsibly, like the losses caused by an airplane crash, suddenly falling from the air. Imagine it happens...
The United States lost the nuclear bomb near Greenland . Where is she now?
1961, the United States launched the "Cross Dome Operation", in which one of the B-52 aircraft carried a nuclear bomb to patrol over Arctic Ocean . what? In order to first strike the important Soviet facilities when a war is declared.
At that time, one of the main bases of the U.S. Air Force was located on the Greenland coast. Denmark approved the building during World War II .
Everything went as planned until one of the Boeing planes caught fire and fell into the sea 11 kilometers away from the base. At that time, the machine was equipped with 4 hydrogen bombs . Due to the impact of water, the bomb shell ruptured, but miraculously avoided the nuclear explosion . However, it has not been saved from the spread of radiation, which is why 80,000 square meters of sea surface is contaminated.
Why did the plane catch fire and crash? After inspection, it was found that it was all man-made negligence. A reserve pilot on the plane placed a foam pad under the seat and accidentally blocked the vent. Due to the cold inside the cabin, they decided to introduce the engine's air into the heating system, thereby increasing the temperature.
Therefore, this mat caught fire quickly and the fire extinguisher was basically not enough to extinguish the fire. The crew sent a distress signal, but there was no time to rescue him, so they had to evacuate.
When the plane crashed, it penetrated mugwort with a diameter of 50 meters on the ice, leaving behind the contaminated sea surface. No hydrogen bomb was found, but 3 of the 4 hydrogen bombs were found to contain the shell fragments of uranium. This is very difficult because uranium must be at minus 60 degrees to operate.
So, these dangerous materials were eventually transferred to a cemetery in , South Carolina, , , and all patrol flights were quickly cancelled and all files were hidden. In the 1990s, it was partially disclosed, causing an uproar after its exposure. The United States explained to Denmark and European Commission , but did not provide compensation.
salvaged three hydrogen bomb fragments, so where is the last hydrogen bomb? It may have been lost in the ice of Greenland, where it is waiting quietly and may never be taken back.
