I watched this video on tv last night and it was incredible. It happened in 1988 in Henderson NEvada. The shock wave nearly leveled tghe town and caused 77 million dollars in damages to houses and building other than the rocket fuel plant that was obliterated. I guess that problem happened that after the Challenger disaster in 86 they stopped flights but never stopped production of solid rocket fuel .... they started storing it in temporary bins and this happened.

Such memories! We were here when it happened. Ask Nate. I was in Boulder City teaching school at the time. Henderson, where the blast happend was in between Bolder City and our house and I couldn't get home without going the LONG way, part way around Lake Mead. A lot of kids at the high school were basket cases because their parents worked in Henderson. Cell phones were in their infancy and kids didn't have them.
