Mysterious box of dynamite triggers evacuation in Knoxville

  1. I thought dynamite was stable and could be handled by hand safely, though certainly the heat from a torch could have set it off, especially if it lit a fuse?

  2. I bet who ever donated it didn’t know what was in it. Some one died, they couldn’t get in it, it was heavy as fuck, and they were selling the building it was in, so they loaded it up and sent it in to get recycled. As someone who has witnessed multiple people who had to get rid of 70 years of stuff their parents accumulated, it’s not surprising they were just getting rid of 'junk".
