You’ve probably seen the ad for this underground missile base in New York state that’s been on the market for some time. Now you have a chance to take a virtual tour! Scout from Scouting New York went to the site and the owners were gracious enough to let him look around and take plenty of pictures. There’s a nice house on top, and part of the underground has been renovated for use as a modern living area. Then there are parts that recall the facility’s original use during the Cold War.

Hey, you would have done the same thing in that situation -if you were prepared! The good news is that the system worked as it was designed to. The bad news is that the neighbors probably didn’t make it. -via the Presurfer
Commercial fisherman Solomon Rodney snared an 8-foot missile while fishing in the Gulf of Mexico last month. He tied the missile to the top of his boat and left it there for the remainder of his 14 day trip. There was one problem.
He brought the missile ashore Monday evening along with his 5,000 pounds of grouper. Rodney figured he’d keep the inert missile as a souvenir.
Only one problem: It was live.
After Rodney came ashore, emergency officials summoned a bomb squad from MacDill Air Force Base to a marina off the Tom Stuart Causeway where Rodney had docked.
“This is a live air-to-air missile,” Pinellas sheriff’s spokeswoman Marianne Pasha said Monday evening. “It is 8 feet long, and the MacDill team is dismantling it.”
