Part 6/8:
The narrative reaches a intense and somewhat somber crescendo with the story of a 90mm M1 anti-aircraft cannon purchased from Amex Salvage in the 1970s. The story is dramatic: a worker attempting to cut the connection rod with a torch inadvertently triggered an explosive force that tragically killed him—an event kept mysterious and suppressed from public knowledge.
The speaker details how the cannon was stolen afterward—adding an element of intrigue and loss. They humorously note that they have repeatedly searched for the missing cannon, indicating a persistent quest to recover a piece of their collectible or hobby history.
