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.

After it was all moved to magazines it was almost 16 million pounds
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.

I worked on Camp Minden for 12 years and no one visited the private companies out there once a week. They did not inspect Explo once a week either. Have you seen the pictures that were taken at the beginning of this mess? They could not "rotate inventory in the same warehouses to make it appear "things were getting done.""
There was nothing stored underground. It was stored improperly in the open and in the magazine areas. Camp Minden backs up to Doyline and Explo was on the Doyline side.
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.

Actually Explo was contracted to demil munitions. What they did with the material that was remaining was up to them. It had nothing to do with the mining industry. A magazine exploded in October 2012 and an Explo employee told the state police about what was going on and the state police went to the plant in November 2012 and found the material being stored improperly. Until that point the gov. did not suspect anything unlawful was going on.
