🇺🇸 Eighteen people are dead after a massive blast obliterated a building at a Tennessee military explosives facility on Friday, authorities said — a “mass detonation” so significant that it rattled homes miles away.

The early-morning explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems, which manufactures military and demolition explosives, left charred debris and mangled vehicles across a vast area. The blast was felt as far as 15 miles away and scattered debris over half a square mile.

The blast, which was felt for kilometres, destroyed an entire building at the plant’s large campus, according to local media.

Officials had previously said that 18 people were unaccounted for in Friday’s explosion, but Davis told reporters that two people whose vehicles and personal items were found at the scene were not actually there when the blast erupted.

Officials have notified the families of all 16 people killed, the sheriff said.

“We’ll call them victims, our loved ones,” a tearful Davis said.


Earlier on Saturday, Davis confirmed that the operation had shifted from rescue to recovery and that investigators would use DNA testing to confirm the identities of those who died.

Investigators, including agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, were still working to determine the cause of the explosion, officials said.

The presence of explosives and other ordnance at the property has made searching the scene complicated.

Davis said it could be days, weeks or even months before foul play can be ruled out.


In a statement, Accurate Energetic Systems called the blast “a tragic accident”.

It also thanked first responders, but did not indicate a possible cause for the explosion.

Accurate Energetic Systems develops, manufactures and stores explosives for “military, aerospace, and commercial demolition markets”, according to the company’s website.

The headquarters includes eight production buildings and a quality lab.

Why pity them when they produce weapons that destroys and levels other countries. Millions have been killed by these weapons too. And many of same factories are found across the USA. The murder capital of the world.

Little kid. Which big country don’t produce such?

dustmalik:
You can call him a kid all you want, but his point still stands. Those bombs would have been used to kill some innocent people elsewhere, that those people who are producing the bombs themselves never met. I have no pity for Americans. They have taken so many innocent lives across the world.
Don’t forget that the drones used in killing Ukrainian men are produced by Iran(Muslims). The tanker parts and jet parts are replenished by North Korea and China( Non believing communists). So, like I said, everyone in each part of the world is the same and are currently acting based on the power they wield. Iran would do worse than America if they wielded that much power. Hope that helps?

hmmm omo... You are so dead beat cold.

What happened their is simple, somebody didn't do his or her job right. The safety measures and mitigation factors in explosive production plants is and usually one of the tightest in the world, second to oil and gas production safety rules. Somebody just got careless! And this is what happens when people get careless at high risk workplaces.

RIP to the dead.

It's okay!

When terrorists are killed we are all happy!

When the good are killed we are sad!

How all these weapons get to Boko haram still amazes me! Biden has got cancer! Everyone will surely collect if not in this world then in the next!

That which they intended to be used to kill others blew them to smithereens. Talk about their trap catching them.
I don't know why humanity has spent so much in developing weapons that can destroy humanity a thousand times over but have not bothered themselves about solving world hunger, achieving world peace and solving the problems that plague is as humans.
Destruction is the only language we know.
