they left a ladder in the tube?? is this an Abbott & Costello moment or what? The maintenance crew needs a time out.

The C.O. has had his career terminated.

Nothing to see here...Move on people...

It would be INCREDIBLY difficult to penetrate the casings around the warheads that might (might) result in a release of radioactive material.

Also, since the missiles use a solid fuel (rather than liquid), I would not be worried about a release of toxic chemicals either.

Then again, the ignorant can always find something to yelp about and find other ignorant folks to share their Chicken Little hysteria. If there was any sort of danger at all, what with all the fears about terrorism (especially nuclear and chimical terrorism) the US government (we should hope!) would have taken some action to keep chaos from reigning in the streets of Bangor, don't you think? (That's the problem -- people like this DON'T THINK!)

As for the moron who left the ladder in the tube, and the bigger idiot who failed to make sure it was removed, I hope you have fun on the unemployment line.
