(NECN: Colebrook, NH) - There has been an explosion at a manufacturing plant in Colebrook, New Hampshire.
MDM Muzzleloaders in the Manchester Manufacturing building is located on Gould Street.
There are reports of injuries, but as to how many, that remains unclear at this time.
Residents in the area, who have been displaced, are setting up shelter at the local courthouse.
Bridge and Gould Streets have been shut down.
Without reading the article in depth, I’m already suspicious. Explosion on an oil rig killed 12 and left us with a big mess in the Gulf. Explosion at an ammo plant could bring “safety” issues to the fore and possibly bring about “common sense legislation” to regulate ammunition.
Just my $0.02.
Black powder muzzleloader manufacturer, which recently got into some black powder substitutes, especially a substitute for flintlock ignition. The last few companies I know who got into that business also had devastating explosions.
Gotcha! That makes sense, but isn’t it sad that the first thing I go to is a possible Obama-spiracy? He’s got ties to a radical who bombed political offices back in the day, and he adheres to the “Never let a crisis go to waste...” I’m automatically thinking of how he’s going to turn this into a political issue.
Meanwhile Tennessee is underwater, but he doesn’t give a flying fsck since there aren’t any minorities involved.
R.D. Sahl. My daughter used to play on the same soccer team as his son. (Coed until about age 9).
I guess they could have been adding taggants, at the request of this administration, into the mix, which can create a static charge....
Isn’t this the same NH town with a nuke power plant?
Nope, Colebrook is up north on the border with Vermont. Seabrook it on the coast and it’s home to the power plant
I would hope that anyone who is intelligent enough to make a flintlock primary substitute would also have enough wisdom to laugh at any fed who required such a thing, as it isn't suitable as an explosive.
Can’t have that. . . ZerO will stop the manufacture of all gunpowder, bullets and weapons in the US tomorrow. We must keep taxpaying, working citizens safe. Of course the factories will have to continue to pay the workers for the company’s mistake.
Explosives production will continue so as to provide radical Allah fearing terrorists to continue to ply their trade. (off sarcasm>
