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

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.

Safety regulations are written in blood, and every time politicians push safety deregulations and get their way, the blood god drinks deep.

Anyone that works in any kind of factory and votes Republican is ignorant to history or dumb as shit.

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

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.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I did see the different angles using the loop and pakring lot as markers but the lot is now buried or blown away. The cars are visible but nothing else about the parking lot is.

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

Dead but can't find body or dead and there's no body left to find.
