A locked truck trailer? I wonder how they locked it? Another article said worksite security are the ones who found the missing dynamite.

Thanks for that post, it always nice to monitor what going on in the world of explosives I see that happened in Pennsylvania. If that was 1.3 fireworks stolen I would be all over social media putting the word out to help find who did it.

Looks like they found most of it under a bridge in the water in a park. They actually recovered MORE blasting caps than were reported missing. Sounds to me like someone was planning a terrorist attack.

It looks like they are going to have some book keeping/inventory issues to address with the ATF.

Started as 640#a and 400 caps, then 704#a and 400 caps... But they recovered 350#s and 404caps... That's that fuzzy math.

The difference of 4 caps is not that major of an issue--but the amount of "still missing" or "mis-inventoried" dynamite is going to get them in pretty hot water.

I don't know much about dynamite, here is a picture I found from the story. Is this what dynamite looks like now? To me it looks like Purnells Old Folks breakfast sausage. LOL

Yeah, it comes packed into casings now... First time I seen some I thought it was some of that Pepperidge farm's cheese in a little casing like a sausage.

OMG... That's too funny. The good news is, if you had that for breakfast, it would sure keep you regular!
