The mishaps associated with nuclear weaponry continue.
A missile transport vehicle carrying an unarmed Minuteman III booster overturned on a gravel road about 70 mi. southwest of Minot AFB, N.D. the morning of July 31.


The 91st Missile Wing vehicles was moving to a launch facility on a gravel access road between the towns of Makoti and Parshall. There were no major injuries, but emergency officials from the local fire department and base emergency officials were called to the scene, says the wing commander, Col. Christopher Ayres. He cited efforts to right the vehicle and minimize environmental and safety risks. The public was asked to avoid the area.
