What's The Craziest Thing That's Ever Been Shoved Into An Airplane?
And no, I'm not talking about Paris Hilton's crazy brother, although he's a strong contender for the title.
In March of 1960, the Royal Air Force somehow shoved a Thor ICBM into a C-124 for transit. The missile only weighed about 110,000 pounds. No big deal.
Is this the craziest thing that's ever been shoved into an airplane, or is there something crazier? You tell us!
