Explosion at NSWC Indian Head?

[John Z]

Did anybody hear anything about an explosion at NSWC Indian Head in Charles County? My dad-in-law just called me saying he heard this on the news...

Just caught a bit of it as I walked in and am looking for more. Several injured and I thought they said a few dead, but again I am not sure.

Four people were burned Wednesday afternoon at a naval weapons facility in Charles County, Md.

A Navy representative said the crew was working with a propellant that ignited and created a flash fire. Four people were hurt and sent to an area hospital.

It was at the Stump Neck site.

Anyone who may have heard the explosion may have thought they are testing again. I know when they do testing there, it scares me half to death. I think D.C. is getting bombed or something.

Try living down river from Dahlgren when they let the big guns roar.

I bet you walked to school in 6 feet of snow?

We live right across the River from Dahlgren.... I'll be suprised if the house is still standing in 5 years.

Seriously

Nope, but I did walk to school in 3 feet of snow while living in Rhode Island. Slide off of the road anymore in your "ottermobile" due to leaves? Kain probably lives a little closer to the guns and knows the noise fairly well, but it is accepted as a “sound of freedom” like those that live near Pax get to experience with the aircraft.
