Townspeople flee millions of pounds of illegal explosives

If you live in Doyline, LA, you might be suffering an extreme case of the Mondays today. The entire town was evacuated following the discovery of six million pounds of illegally stored explosives at a former Army munitions plant. "Boxes and small barrels of the M6 artillery propellant," made of a material known as "guncotton," were literally spilling out of their containers at the site, no doubt delighting mice with a gun fetish but freaking out town officials, who feared a massive explosion. Doyline's townspeople will be permitted back perhaps as early as Tuesday. [Source]
