Hanne Danielson, Denmark. Co-founder of the Thule Association.
Good afternoon! My name is Hanne Danielson
and I come from Denmark. My husband was at
Thule Air Base in Greenland, 1968, where a B52
loaded with four H-bombs crashed on the sea ice. He
was working at Thule Air Base from 1964
until 1969. He left Thule Air Base 14 months
after the accident. Already in 1972, he got his
first symptoms. It was some changes of his
leg. His left leg looked like a thickness of the skin. It
looked like a thick skinned, purple-coloured
birthmark from his knee to his feet. In 1975, it
started with impairment of memory and also with
reduced power of concentration and continued
until his death. There were also some changes in
his natural behaviour. In April 1987, it started
with a pain in his back, and on the 19th of April
he went to a hospital and he died of cancer the
30th of April, and in those eleven days he lost 30
kilos. Years back when we talked about Thule, my husband
got very aggressive. I think it was caused by his fear. Later,
in 1987, I joined the Thule Committee and in
1992, we founded the Thule Association.
Thank you for listening.
