Multiple people were killed and at least 13 remain unaccounted for following a “devastating blast” at a Tennessee bomb factory Friday morning, according to officials.

The massive explosion was reported around 7:45 a.m. local time at the Accurate Energetic Systems plant at the Hickman-Humphreys County line, west of Nashville.

Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis confirmed to reporters there were “some” fatalities and that there are people still missing, but did not provide numbers.

It looks like people in there were vaporized the building is completely gone. This is sad but I assume this is the risk for working around bombs.

No doubt. Me too. Obviously missles and bombs down to grenades are manufactured somewhere. But yeah... not something you even think about.

Next week I believe! Actually, I just read the posted article (I had read a different one) and it looks like they did work for the military as well. I bet security in that place was a bitch.

I used to work in a plant that had previously been a munitions factory in WWII.

The floors were concrete, six feet deep, but the walls were all windows. They were designed to immediately blast out if there was an explosion, as little of the blast coming back as possible.

I figured bombs were just ordered on Amazon, like everything else.

Moments like these remind me that there are actual "Bomb Factories" out there. Gotta say, the "accident rate" seems pretty low, all things considered.
