Ammo explosion in Illinois - shotgun primers

There was an explosion yesterday (Thursday) at an ammo plant. I don’t know how to provide a link. The explosion was within a semi-trailer hauling shotgun primers. the truck driver was killed but no other injuries. Did not mention how many primers or other details.
 
Sad is right. Like the submariners, at least he didn't suffer.

I wonder how many primers it takes to fill a trailer?

Something smells fishy and somehow, I can't gin up much confidence in the BATF. Prayers for the family of the victim.
 
As the man said in that movie ; "Your fault , My fault , Nobodies Fault", He's still just as dead . Should bring to mind for everyone of us that we "play" with explosives , and we cannot let our guard down for even a minute . But it was only a pack of a hundred . And sitting next to a open bottle of powder . Familiarity breeds contempt .
