B52 crash and broken arrow at Thule AFB

Hi all

I’m doing research for a Danish film production about the B52 crash near the Thule AFB back in 1968, more specific the radio and plane’s internal coms for use in an audio montage to be included in the film. My hope is that someone here will be knowledgeable about how a B52 captain/crew would interact with each other and the outside world, so I can present the director with a script for the montage that is credible and as close to the truth as possible. I haven’t been able to find any debrief or CVR transcript from the crew, so unless someone knows where to dig that up, a credible “remake” is the way to go.

The montage is going to be around 20 secs long, so the various snippets of chatter won’t be in real time, but rather compressed together to make the viewer understand that the plane needs to be bailed out of.

Some questions to home in on what I need:

In case of an in-flight emergency, like the fire from the navigators compartment in this case, is it to be expected that the captain would get in touch with SAC and inform of the problem? Additionally, due to their proximity to Thule AFB, would they have contacted the tower to inform them of their emergency?

What emergency procedures are followed in the case of an in-flight fire in a B52 and what coms would be mandatory/expected between the crew? In 1968 with 4 thermonuclear munition in the bomb bay?

Any help is enormously appreciated, even if you can just point me in a direction to seek the needed information. I’ve written the Air Force Public Affairs Agency for help, but haven’t received and reply as of yet.
