One of ours, too! Big scandal a decade or so ago about them buying a huge load of stolen brass vases from a local veterans' cemetery without asking any questions. Not as vivid an image as a Tomahawk on a flatbed - but it goes to show. They caught fire a few weeks ago - not surprised as they used to just accept people chucking un-drained small gas motors into their shred pile. Bit bored and still dealing with teething kiddo (these are her LAST TWO, thank heavens), so partially-related story time! When I used to bring them stuff as a student worker for my university's physical plant, they took loads of giant boiler pumps (we're talking a dozen or so 200lb, 3-phase, super overbuilt never-fail motors) out of our unmarked Isuzu box jalopy. No IDs checked, no signing, zip. They'd just hand me a check and receipt, which I turned over to my boss.
Bear with me as I make a halfhearted case for an aerospace application for those IDTs. discoveryrecycling originally made this post a long time ago, but an active yard called Discovery Recycling in Daleville, Alabama seems pretty likely to have something to do with OP or just
be their proprietor. Look at the nearby industries in Daleville. It's a hornet's nest of Military and Aerospace industries. The US Army Aviation Museum is less than 2 miles away, not to mention Fort Rucker, the US Army Aeromedical Lab, and too many more to type out - just look at the Google maps! In the same state - albeit opposite sides - as Huntsville! Discovery Recycling is listed as veteran owned, too (dun dun duuun!). Long story short, I'm pretty sure it
was from a Tomahawk!
Kidding aside, I'm know it's likely something much more mundane than a scrapped-out missile. I'm sure tons of things have a need for fail-safe capability beyond the fantastical. Reality is almost always a lot more boring than it is interesting, I suppose. Then again...
