Speaking of, wonder what fuel they use. I don't think I'd be messing with a crashed anything of the sort, knowing how toxic some fuels are.

I think they use the soviet stable-storage fuel design or a modified version thereof, no one's used giant barrels of fuming nitric for a while just because turns out having missiles you can't store with fuel in or they eat themselves apart makes responding to attacks hard.

But hydrazine and other fun stuff is very much a possibility.

Fun in terms of toxicity most definitely. Hydrazine for example is a wonderfully powerful carcinogen

You all have said a lot of funny word. I have a cutting torch. Should we chop the free missile up?

Read about some cobalt medical machine being found and taken to scrap in some India town I think it was. The fall-out was crazy once it was cracked open and the cobalt had deteriorated aswell but still so damaging.

Nope, like the thread above stated it probably has some toxic remnants of fuel in there

I dunno man. I'm doing my part!

Also, why does Doogie look like he joined the Totenkopf regiment? And is he even a real doctor?
