Eighteen people still unaccounted for

According to multiple news reports an explosion happened in Humphreys County, Tennessee. There are 18 unaccounted for according to reports. We are also told FBI, ATF and other federal agencies are on scene investigating this incident.

Fatalities have been reported after an explosion Friday morning at a military explosives manufacturing plant in Tennessee, officials said.

Eighteen people were still unaccounted for Friday afternoon after the explosion earlier that morning at the Accurate Energetic Systems plant, Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis said. Though he didn’t specify a number, he confirmed fatalities.

The explosion took place around 7:45 a.m. at the plant located in Bucksnort, a territory along the Hickman/Humphreys county line. Accurate Energetic Systems.The incident is now being investigated by Tennessee’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), in addition to local authorities.

Public records show that Accurate Energetic Systems sold numerous types of weapons to the U.S. military and has been awarded numerous military contracts to manufacture a variety of munitions and explosives. The contracts, which were awarded largely by the Army and Navy, were for a variety of products that ranged from bulk explosives to landmines and small breaching charges used to get through doors.

The company also uses the sprawling campus to test explosives, according to it’s website, measuring the velocity of explosions as well as their impact on surrounding areas under varying environmental conditions. The website says that facilities can safely accommodate explosives with up to 35 pounds of “net explosive weight,” and conducts daily tests.

At MoCo Raw News we ask to keep the families of the victims in your thoughts and prayers.

Tennessee Department of Corrections salaries of liars

Let me tell you about TDOC and how it is being ran. They have money they are just putting it in the wrong place. They would rather show the Office of Inspector General during an inspection a fully staffed and functioning facility. When in reality the day after inspection buildings are left with two officers running it when there should be four. They write up officers who do a job that can be dangerous and do what they can to go home to their families and children. Yet the administration that has never worked as an officer or never step foot in a prison in Nashville tie the facility administrators hands. They write up officers who violate policies to ensure they and their fellow officers go home. Yet there is no disciplinary action for the bosses who violate policy. But those bosses will seek disciplinary actions against the officer who is doing the best they can. In 2023, Frank Strada earned $221,400 by working as a Commissioner 3 at the Tennessee Department of Correction. His salary w...
