I was a firefighter in New Mexico for a bit and somebody made an issue about this WWI artillery shell that hadn't been properly deactivated. Few guys came up from Kirkland with some C4 and we hauled this antique out to the woods and blew it up. Good day.
In a museum, I meant to say.
Interesting how the article glossed over how the missile arrived there in the first place.

On the container it says “Royal Jordanian Air Force”...maybe someone bought it?
These things do find their way into the civilian word on occasion.
