- The Hercules plant is the one that blew up nearly destroying my cousin's
- house. There were a total of 3 explosions, the first 2 were comparitively
- small and the third was the largest. One man was injured/killed when
- the first explosions got him up and looking out the window, then the last
- threw him across the room of his house.
