Denmark challenged over B52 crash 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6647421.stm
 
"Let me take you back to an Arctic night in January 1968, still the era
of the Cold War," a British MEP told the European Parliament this week,
promising a tale comparable to an international thriller. 
"An American B-52 bomber gets into trouble, the crew scramble to safety
and the plane comes down in Greenland with an enormous amount of
weapons-grade plutonium on board.

Isn't it curious, that when its an accident, the Pu quantity is "enormous,"
but when they talk a bout the amount of Pu needed to make a bomb, its
typically "very small."
