Museum Rocket No Dud

Museum Rocket No Dud

Postby KnightTemplar on Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:24 pm

History could have come to life in very much the wrong way at a veterans' museum where a rocket on display for two years was discovered Wednesday to be live.

The 48-inch-by-2.75-inch rocket was similar to those used on helicopter gun ships during the Vietnam War, said Deputy State Fire Marshal Joseph Zurolo Jr. A local veteran donated it to the museum, which is in a chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Zurolo said.

That is an odd turn of events. I wonder how they figured out it was live after 2 years....
