For those of you who have gone to Fla. the past several years for the MSBL Fall Clasic, check this out. Several o us stayed in Madeira Beach bayfront condos every year:
The following story was on the Yahoo news site:
MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. Florida authorities say a commercial fisherman reeled in a live missile in the Gulf of Mexico and kept it on his boat for 10 days.
The sheriff's office in Pinellas County say the boat's captain, Rodney Soloman, hooked the air-to-air guided missile 50 miles off the Panhandle town of Panama City. The Air Force and Navy use Gulf waters off the Panhandle for weapons training.
Soloman had the missile aboard his boat for 10 days before returning Monday to port in Madeira Beach, near St. Petersburg.
A bomb squad was called in from MacDill Air Force Base and dismantled the missile in an empty parking lot.
The bomb squad said the missile was very corroded from floating in sal****er for a long time. They said it was live and in a very unstable state.
(Most of us left live and in an unstable state as well)!!!
the word "sal****er" because the sequence of letters in the middle of the word spells t - w - a - t.
