Definitely an explosive situation.

That's not good.

 

[hoosierdoc]

oh crap, "underground" explosives? Those are the worst!

 

[tsm]

Hey, it was either that or spend a whole lot of time trying to find those big boomers for 4th of July fireworks!

 

[Clay Pigeon]

More boom than Tannerite.

 

[Birds Away]

What the heck are they mining for in Kokomo?

Looks like limestone, had to look it up as I didn't even know Kokomo had a large gravel pit out southwest of town

Mining companies have the good stuff. We tried to buy ammonium nitrate from one in Ohio, very hard to get in on that

Yeah, OKC ruined that for everybody.

I was working for an OKC based company when that happened and was in OKC and saw the building 4 days later. After seeing the building and thinking of all those poor children he killed, I hope he is in a special place in hell....

I saw this on Andy Griffith once. A goat ate it.

Gyros, anyone?

 

[hoosierdoc]

i don't even own a diesel though!

 

[TB1999]

Gyros, anyone?

I'm always up for some gyros. Paired with as many fried foods as possible. Fries, jalapeño poppers, cheese sticks. I sure miss Mr gyro on 38th st since moving.

Maybe I'm the only one that finds this fairly serious. I mean, I know what the first thing that comes to mind when I think of "why would a person steal industrial explosives?"

C'mon Kut, you have been around here long enough to know that even the most serious topic is soon derailed.

 

[public servant]

It would be interesting to know exactly how much is missing.

 

[oldpink]

Hey ya'll, watch this!
Oh wait, hold my beer first.

It would be interesting to know exactly how much is missing.

I worked part-time security/traffic control for the company that did the blasting for that big hole in the ground on West St at the fuel line and they were using 1500 pounds per shot. So if they are actively blasting limestone I would imagine that the quantity on hand is pretty significant.
