Town Evacuated After 6 Million Pounds Of Explosives Found
NBC, 4 Dec 2012
Police have evacuated a town in northwest Louisiana while they move out around 6 million pounds of illegally stored explosives.
About half of the approximately 800 residents of Doyline, where scenes from HBO's popular "True Blood" series have been filmed, were evacuated Friday after authorities discovered around 1 million pounds of explosive powder stored by Explo Systems Inc. at Camp Minden, a former army ammunition plant.
Authorities moved to evacuate the town of its remaining residents Sunday after discovering up to six times more M6 artillery propellant -- 6 million pounds -- at the site.
