An explosion ripped through the ammunition plant around 7:45 AM CT Friday … it triggered smaller blasts. An entire building at the complex was leveled, parked cars were destroyed and the rubble covered about a half-square mile.
The plant operates in a small town 60 miles away from Nashville and Sheriff Davis said he was very close to three of the victims’ families.
