A worker with the Nasittuq Corporation – a military contractor tasked with maintaining defense radar installations in the Canadian Arctic for detecting incoming Russian and Chinese missiles – was himself savagely killed by two stealthy, heavily camouflaged intruders in an attack last week.
“It is with deep sorrow that Nasittuq Corporation confirms a tragic incident occurred yesterday at one of our work locations on Brevoort Island, Nunavut. An attack by two polar bears has resulted in the loss of one of our valued employees. Nasittuq employees responded to the scene and one of the animals was put down,” the company said in a statement. The second polar bear’s whereabouts remain unknown. It may be hiding in the snow, waiting for another unsuspecting defense contractor to let their guard down so that it may feast upon tender, delicious human flesh again.
