A "Hold ma beer and watch this" moment? Someone really fucked up this morning. I heard it was an explosive manufacturing plant for the military, not ammo? It was heard 12 miles away...

I don't think they're going to be finding those ones that are unaccounted for

Hopefully it wasn't a case of intentional sabotage

That's what I figured, a few pounds of C-4 and someone testing a new blasting cap....for the last time.

My dad ended up retiring from JAAP. 1942 his young ass was in France in the Army Air Corps.

The whole place was super fund cleaned up and turned into a National Park & Cemetery. He said he worked the 30 years now he can spend eternity there.
