The Tennessee explosion occurred at Accurate Energetic Systems, a military explosives manufacturing plant located near Bucksnort, on the border of Hickman and Humphreys Counties, about 60 miles southwest of Nashville. The blast took place early Friday morning and devastated the facility, leaving multiple people dead and 19 others missing. The explosion was powerful enough to shake nearby residences several miles away and caused smaller secondary explosions. Emergency responders continue to work on-site amid safety concerns from ongoing detonations.
