Pretty wild. I was wondering what the explosives were for, too. Mining was my guess. They probably wouldn't be for the military, would they? I'm guessing bombs and missiles for Hill AFB are flown in by cargo jet.

That's just what I was thinking. Most all mining blasting is done by slurry with fuse, but I suppose caps and det cord would be useful for wall blasting... I don't know how much fuse is actually used. I've been out of coal mining for decades, and other types of mining certainly use other kinds of methods.

Dunno. I suppose it'll get out where this was going before it went poof.
