  1. My parents, husband, cousins, self. Work in explosives. It's the basis of our economy locally. My peace is knowing they never knew it happened. *Anyone up for taking care of our own yet?* cuz I bootstrapped in an ammo plant to get 4 kids raised. And they knew every day that the biggest piece of a coworker found once was a chunk of lung. Surrounded by cancers too. THIS is our economy. Whether you're making Cheerios or Ammunition. It's people making 34$ an hour who might never go home.

  2. Prayers and praying it is properly investigated, America is in such unsettling times, unrest and dangerous times. Prayers for ALL.

  3. An added sad part is being out of a job (survivors) and losing a breadwinner for others.

    America is a cold, cruel nation… even the September 11th, 2001 survivors and dependents had to fight for benefits, some got denied or had all kinds of issues with paperwork and "RED TAPE".

  4. So Very SAD … my Condolences to All involved, especially to the Families of Loss Love Ones….May God Comfort Peoples Hearts ❤

  5. Something similar happened just two months ago in Quatro Barras, Paraná, Brazil. An explosives factory blew up early in the morning, killing 9 workers. Investigators later found cold weather had made the explosive mix unstable, and old equipment caused friction that triggered the detonation.

  6. My condolences to the families.
    I am curious to know how an explosions like this happened. These factories have extensive safety measures to make sure this didn't happen. What went so wrong to cause a tragedy like this.
