Well, as the story goes an S-200 Angara, also known as the SA-5 "Gammon" in NATO countries, a long range, medium-to-high altitude surface-to-air missile system (SAM) created during the Soviet-era back in 1967 ended up in a recycling scrap yard in the Siberian city of Chita. It seems the missile was stolen from a military base and sold to the scrap yard for cash. Unfortunately, the 32.8 ft, (10 meters) 7-ton missile exploded when workers at the yard started cutting up the S-200 for scrap. The tragic mistake left two dead and one injured, how could high explosive end up in a scrapyard? and two more warheads from an S-200 Angara missile were found at the blast site. I don't know if these guys were using a cutting torch or Carbide wheel but the day went all wrong!
