Скачать или смотреть The Cold War's Most Dangerous Accident—and What They Found (and Didn't)

Somewhere beneath the Arctic ice, a critical component of a hydrogen bomb is still missing.

In January 1968, the Cold War turned hot—not with a missile strike, but with a catastrophic accident. A B-52 Stratofortress carrying four Mark 28 thermonuclear weapons caught fire and crashed onto the sea ice near Thule Air Base in Greenland. This is the story of the "Broken Arrow" incident that ended the era of constant airborne alert, the harrowing survival of the crew in -40°F darkness, and the classified search for a missing nuclear component that the Pentagon tried to keep secret.

From the terrifying moments inside the burning cockpit to the massive cleanup operation known as "Crested Ice," we uncover the true story of the Thule Air Base crash.
