Am 21. Januar 1968 stürzt nahe der Thule-Air-Base der US-Luftwaffe an der Nordwestküste Grönlands ein B-52 Bomber ab. An Bord: vier scharfe Wasserstoffbomben.

Man schafft Hunderte dänische Arbeiter heran, die ohne ausreichende Schutzkleidung das strahlende Eis beseitigen sollen. Viele erkranken anschließend. Ob alle Bomben vollständig geborgen werden konnten, ist bis heute nicht hundertprozentig sicher.
