After examining the scene of the tragedy, no one was found alive after a powerful explosion at a military plant and an Accurate Energetic Systems explosives manufacturing plant in the US state of Tennessee. This was announced today by Humphries County Sheriff Chris Davis, according to CNN.
According to officials, more than 300 emergency personnel were at the scene during the aftermath on Friday. It is not known how many people were inside the plant when the explosion occurred, Hickman County Mayor Jim Bates said at a press conference today.
"This will be an investigation that will probably last for several days… At the moment we have not found any survivors. When we look into it, we find that it is even more destructive than we originally thought," he added.
According to Davis, the investigation is being held back by the presence of explosives at the scene.
It is noted that at least 18 people were missing after a powerful explosion. It occurred during the morning shift at Accurate Energetic Systems, a manufacturer of military explosives and explosives, which employs dozens of local residents. According to officials, the explosion caused a series of secondary ones.
According to a source familiar with the investigation, controlled explosions will be carried out to destroy explosives because "chemicals are more unstable" than previously thought. According to the source, investigators are also seizing records of employment.
As reported by EADaily, in the United States, several people were killed and missing as a result of an explosion at the Accurate Energy Systems military ammunition plant in Tennessee. This was reported by Sky News channel.
Recall, the American explosives manufacturing plant in Tennessee, where an explosion occurred the day before, causing a secondary detonation, received a large order shortly before the incident. This was reported by Strana, citing Pentagon data.
