@kenshirriff @johnefrancis the 1964 Minuteman incident is written up here: armytimes.com/news/2017/11/04/

As for the Damascus incident, there's Eric Schlosser's whole book, Command & Control

@kenshirriff @johnefrancis agreed. The whole thing starts with "You did *what* on top of two tanks of hypergolic fuel?"

I think the moral of both stories is : go back to the damn truck to get the right tool
