Seems a tad irresponsible, storing 2,500 tons of explosive material inadequately and going off on a foreign business jolly :

Louisiana town evacuates over explosives stockpile

A Louisiana town has been evacuated after officials discovered 6m lb (2.7m kg) of explosive material that they say were stored illegally.

State police found the stockpile of M6 artillery propellant stacked outdoors and without authorisation in buildings in the 800-inhabitant town of Doyline.

The discovery was made by officials during a follow-up inspection after a blast at Explo Systems in October.

Officials expect to work over the next two days to secure the explosives.
'Reckless disregard'

But police officials have said the operation might be suspended if lightning is seen within 5 miles (8km) of the site.

Thunderstorms are forecast for Tuesday. On Monday there was some light rain, but no lightning had been reported.

That would have been one big explosion if it had gone off.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
