It’s a 1300 acre plant that manufactures everything from small arms munitions to mines, shaped charges, and demolition equipment for the civilian, Military, and Commercial markets.
9 buildings. 8 production and 1 QC lab. Site has had at least 1 accident in the past when a production facility they I guess rented to a company called Rio Ammunition exploded in 2014 killing 1 and wounding 3.
I’d hazard a guess the blast in this case was largely confined to 1 facility on the grounds. A 1300 acre production compound that handles nothing but explosives and small arms having all 8 buildings being leveled would likely result in more than 19 casualties. And probably have been visible for miles
