Over the years, there have been many, many explosions out there. Back in the old days, when missle warheads and artillery rounds were manufactured there, there were some serious incidents. Entire assembly lines would go up in an earth-shakin KABOOM! The floors in these buildings were coated in rubber, because even a tiny spark of static electricity could wipe out the whole damn kit and kaboodle. Well, it happened anyway...and with some regularity. I was a security/police officer out there back in the day, and left shortley after the "Goex" black powder makers showed up. Times like these Im glad I dont work there anymore. There were some good people there in those days..hope theyre all ok.
