The only Irish in her amounts to a couple of shots of Jamesons, she's an American.
Her father has Irish, German, and French-Canadian ancestry, and her mother is of Irish and Italian descent.

Doncha mean a Minuteman II (spelling)??? The land based ones have been Minuteman II's since a long time ago... Found it, it was a Titan II... A Minuteman III blew up in the 90's I believe, also fueling related... Blew the warhead a couple hundred feet too...

A you already found out I'm not that senile just yet. I was there 4 years we never had any of those cheap solid fuel firecrakers. Liquid fuel all the way. The called it in the papers the Damascus Disaster. It completely destroyed the silo including the fence around it. Oddly enough the command center was completely untouched with a almost full plastic cup of coke sitting on the countertop with not a drop spilled. They swore us to secrecy whether or not it was armed, what do you think?

There was a actually a made for TV movie called Disaster at Silo 7. They placed it in Texas and had a lot of people drama on it, some of the facts were dreamed up but the story was mostly there.
