I was standing in the cupola (sp) of my 5 ton wrecker while loading ammo (8" Howitzer rounds). I had 2 6 packs up there getting ready to go over the side of the 5 ton ammo truck when the cable broke. It whizzed passed my ear. That was the first day of the rest of my life. I did from them on the best preventive maintance that I had ever done. You ought to have seen everyones faces, I think that some had to clean thier selves up.
