BTW, There’s an Army ammunitions plant in Radford, VA that makes nitroglycerin as one of its products. They have a pretty good safety record, but I remember back in 1985 that there was a bad accident involving an 5,000 pound batch of nitroglycerin exploding and a whole storage building was vaporized. All that was left was a half-acre hole in the ground. A couple of the workers were also killed. One man was blown out of the building, but the other man was never found.
