I know some things about TOW missiles (having fired about 100 of them at Graf). It sounds like a "Blue Spear", a training round. By itself, it is NO big deal .... BUT ... it is very WEIRD that it was in a Federal Building, most 11Hs (TOW trained infantryman) I know, would consider that unsafe ....

What possible use can the FBI or ATF have with a TOW missile in an office buiding? Maybe they had a couple of laws (sub caliber training devices of course) and a few MILES Stingers in there as well.

It is good to hear from someone with actual experience that can comment on this. When you say "NO big deal" can you give us your take on what might happen if a missile like this, sans live warhead, were to be accidentally fired inside a building? Could it do as much damage as an acetylene tank with a broken neck? Or would it just sit there and fizzle like a 4th of July sparkler?
