Doyline evacuation extended; 6M pounds of black powder to be moved

CAMP MINDEN, LA (KSLA) -
Authorities now believe they're dealing with more than 6 million pounds of M6 powder at Camp Minden.
Original estimates had the stockpile officials say was improperly stored on property leased by Explo Systems, Inc. at 1 million pounds.

"That's a lot of product, a lot of dangers in there, there are a lot of worst case scenarios, we need to work through those safely," says Louisiana State Police Colonel Michael Edmondson.

The new estimate comes two days into operations to move and secure the smokeless black powder into authorized storage facilities on the site.

The operation is now expected to continue into Tuesday, extending the evacuation of the town of Doyline at least that much longer.

That's just awful.....maybe I'm missing something here, but who knowingly leaves 6 million lbs. of exploding material in one of the worst places on the planet right now?

what happens if it explodes o.o

That's the million dollar question, isn't it?

Police have checkpoints on roads leading into Doyline, though residents are allowed to come and go. The evacuation was voluntary, and some residents elected not to leave their homes in the town that has been used to film some scenes for the HBO vampire series "True Blood."

I don't know what links can and cannot be posted here, but I found this from August of 2006:



Explo Systems, Inc. 3 Steps Away from Duke Cunningham, How Close to Carlyle Group?

An explosion occurred at a Louisiana military base today requiring the evacuation of nearby schools. The contractor charged with safely dismantling military ordinance is Explo Systems, Inc. Information on the company is not widely available as it’s privately held. However, a small town newspaper ran an article about the facility’s open house. Another site listed the square footage the company leases at 237,257 sq. ft.

Otherwise, not much information is available online. Which defense oriented investment house owns this corporation is not yet clear.

However, Explo Systems does license its bomb dismantling technology from a German company, wholly owned by General Atomics, based in San Diego.

The General Atomics donation record to Randy Duke Cunningham is clear.

2004 $10,000
2002 $10,000
2000 No record
1998 $10,000

Did you note Randy’s biggest contributor the 2002 election cycle? It was none other than The Carlyle Group at $23,300.

In 2000 Carlyle gave $5,500 to "Randy Randy". That same election year Carlyle donated nearly $500,000 with 85% going to Republican candidates.

What will come out about this company in light of the incident? If privately held management controls the media, then the public would see very little information.
