This sounds like it all just happened in the past 6 years. Yes he retired from LSP, yes he wrote most of the laws regulating explosives but it was a team and it was over 30 years ago. His company did win the bid to burn all of the propellant and his company paid to have the chamber built. He did not make millions nor did his company. He did not oversee the project, that was handled by his son. It doesn't matter who writes the laws for explosives as long as those laws are approved and followed.
Not talking about what is going on at Camp Minden. I was talking about Billy leaving LSP and starting explosive cert classes right after helping write the statutes. It was brilliant. Wish I would have thought of that.

What they did with the material that was remaining was up to them.
True...but mining is where a lot of the explosives went. When they stopped buying, explo forged the paperwork to show the army that they were selling rather than storing.

Oh, David Fincher died recently, just two days before trial was to begin.
Yep...I have yet to see his obituary hit the internet though.

E line caught fire in 2006 and the fire reach the munitions that exploded. S line where the propellant was improperly stored wasn't contracted with mining. Fincher died Friday a week ago.

Suicide?
I’m pretty sure it happened Saturday.
I’m good friends with a deputy from the county Fincher lived in (Dickson), I’ll see if I can get any info.

I'm familiar with what they did and the people involved.

Will you let us know what you find out. I was told that he died Friday night and the news had that he was found Saturday so not sure what to believe.

Without giving away too much, I’m pretty confident that he killed himself Saturday.
Also, one of the 2 remaining guys took a plea deal. They moved the remaining guy - Terry Wright’s - trial to Jan 7.

I have been trying to keep up with the trial info daily but missed this one. Doing the same about Fincher I was told Friday night but who knows for sure.

Looks like Terry Wright will now take a plea tomorrow.
Change of plea hearing
He’s the last one.
Now it’ll be interesting to see if they go after Fincher’s estate.
