In 2019, Accurate Energetic Systems faced several small fines from the U.S. Department of Labor for violations of policies meant to protect workers from exposure to hazardous chemicals, radiation and other irritants, according to citations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

I’m curious to see the record of corrected behavior in relation to these violations.

    Jesus even the parking lot got wiped out. That must have been a massive explosion.

    People were saying they thought their house was struck by lightning and walked outside to find nothing. I think it was a person's security camera on the video that's not really "near" the site based on the footage and you can still hear it pretty well

    If only we had some sort of, I dunno, safety board that could have determined how this could have happened? https://www.chemicalprocessing.com/safety-security/risk-assessment/news/55296583/chemical-industry-pushes-back-on-trump-plan-to-axe-safety-watchdog

    The way my fiance(e)? says it: "The regulations were axed in June for Tennessee." So we made it less than 4 months before a plant was exploded and people were killed.

    Note: if anyone remembers, this is area where part of the nuclear arsenal was built for testing before sent West for the Manhattan project

    It's still there. You can see the cars parked on it in the upper right of the second picture.

    The pictures are taken from different angles. The scary thing is that very likely every car is a person who won't come home tonight.

    There really are only two options if people are missing from an explosives factory

    It's Tennessee. Just be glad they can't vote anymore.
