Nineteen people are dead or missing after a massive blast obliterated a building at a Tennessee explosives facility on Friday, authorities said.
The blast occurred at Accurate Energetic Systems, LLC, on Friday morning.
“I can tell you that we’re missing 19 souls,” Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis said at a news conference Friday afternoon.
The blast rattled nearby homes and set off smaller explosions, local officials say.
The explosion, which happened around 7:45 a.m. local time, was a “devastating blast” but responders were able to secure the scene by late morning, Davis said earlier Friday.
“We do have several people at this time that’s unaccounted for,” Davis said. “We do have some folks, we can confirm that we do have some that are deceased.”
Three people with “minor injuries” from the explosion were treated at TriStar medical facilities in Dickson, Casey Stapp, the spokesperson for TriStar Health said. Stapp said two people were released, and one person is still receiving treatment at an emergency room.
Accurate Energetic Systems is located about an hour southwest of Nashville, Tennessee, on the Hickman and Humphreys County line, the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Office told CNN.
Numerous law enforcement resources from across the state of Tennessee have been dispatched to assist in the investigation, a source familiar told CNN. Those personnel include federal agents and the Tennessee Highway Patrol Special Operations Unit, among other agencies. The relatively remote area is typically patrolled by smaller law enforcement departments, the person said, which has prompted other agencies to volunteer resources for support.
Hickman County Mayor Jim Bates said the facility has about 80 employees, but it’s unclear how many were in the building when the explosion happened. Bates said one building on the site was completely destroyed.
“It’s pretty devastating to see this,” Bates said.
“It’s going to be an investigation that’s probably going to go on for days,” the mayor said. “This facility, they do manufacture, not only military, but demolition explosives for road work and things like that.”
Tennessee state Sen. Kerry Roberts told CNN the facility sits on a 1,300-acre campus and is a beloved employer for many people in the community.
He said it’s common to see employees at community events and people wearing baseball caps with the company name on them.
“It is a well-loved company in the area,” Roberts said. “So, this is going to have a devastating impact on quite a few families … it is heartbreaking.”
Residents who live near the facility say they felt the impact of the explosion.
“I thought the house had collapsed with me inside of it,” Gentry Stover told The Associated Press by phone. “I live very close to Accurate, and I realized about 30 seconds after I woke up that it had to have been that.”
Cody Warren, who lives in Lobelville which is 21 miles away from the facility, said the sound from the explosion woke him up and he thought lightning struck his house.
Accurate Energetic Systems specializes in making military explosives, according to the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Office.
The company’s Facebook page says it manufactures “various high explosive compositions and specialty products for the U.S. DoD and U.S. Industrial markets.”
Last month, the US Department of Defense awarded Accurate Energetic Systems a contract for nearly $120 million “for the procurement of TNT.”
The Hickman County Sheriff’s Office is asking everyone to avoid the area as emergency responders do their work.

Numerous streets and neighborhoods are flooded, with cars abandoned as drivers who thought they could make it were forced to leave their rides.
Even more shocking, sections of Interstate 24 by the Georgia border have become impassible, thanks to high waters and stalled out cars.
One of the deceased was found in floodwaters as rescuers searched for someone else who was swept away. The other three deaths were from a family who were in their car when a tree fell on it.
The best way to not get into a bad situation when a road is flooded is to not drive down it. Many times, drivers believe the water they’re headed towards is shallower than it really is, only realizing once they’re literally in too deep that they’re in trouble.
Two adults and one child were killed when a tree fell on their car early Wednesday morning as a result of the storms in East Ridge, near Chattanooga, the Hamilton County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security told the BBC.
One person is still missing after first responders saw him being swept away by floodwaters, the office said. Emergency responders are still searching for him and are not sure whether he was able to swim out.
Flash flood warnings are still in effect on Wednesday for many parts of Tennessee, including Knoxville.

A string of storm systems caused havoc and devastation in Selmer on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Selmer, along with dozens of communities in Tennessee, received multiple tornado warnings overnight. The National Weather Service tracked at least one tornado and multiple potential tornadoes near Selmer Wednesday night and early Thursday morning and it's likely what ripped through the small town located almost halfway between Memphis and Nashville. "Another tornado is heading directly north of Selmer, TN, in 40 minutes. This is an incredibly dangerous situation," the weather service out of Memphis posted on X, formerly Twitter, around 2:30 a.m. In the morning hours, residents saw what was left of their small town.
Selmar damage: Roofs ripped up, powerlines down, homes and businesses destroyed
Selmer residents hunkered down as the storms raged overhead, pulling roofs from homes, downing trees and powerlines, and destroying much of what people had worked so hard to build.
Paul Floyd, a Selmer resident, walked through his destroyed home on Thursday morning to survey what was left after he, his wife, and his mother-in-law hunkered down to ride out a suspected tornado the evening before.
When will we know the path of the Tennessee tornadoes?
On Thursday, the National Weather Service out of Nashville stated that it could be several days before a full damage assessment will be done due to the nature of the event which is expected to dump upwards, or more than, 10 inches of rain in some communities in West and Middle Tennessee.
While the weather service out of Memphis reported on tornadoes near Selmer, there has been no information provided stating that the community was hit by one directly as of Thursday afternoon.

Flooding and damaging wind and tornado alerts issued for Middle Tennessee. The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for Nashville, other areas of Tennessee and Kentucky effective through 1 a.m. Sunday. The National Weather Service issued an update after 6:30 p.m. Saturday on social media cautioning that a few tornadoes are possible, along with isolated ping-pong ball size hail and scattered wind gusts up to 70 mph for Nashville, Dickson, Murfreesboro, Columbia, Lawrenceburg, Clarksville and Portland. Parts of Middle Tennessee, particularly to the west, experienced flash flooding Saturday. By nightfall, the National Weather Service extended the flash flood warning for Dickson, Waverly and White Bluff until 11:45 p.m. and for Clarksville, Dover and Tennessee Ridge through midnight. "With all of the rain we've had in recent weeks, we were bracing for a significant flash flooding event," Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts said in a news release issued Saturday. "Today, unfortunately, it happened, bringing challenges through our city." The city's street department prepared throughout the week by placing about 1,000 sandbags as well as barricades in areas where the city historically has experienced flooding. The mayor said street department workers joined police and fire personnel to respond to flash flooding to keep people and structures safe. The rivers with the greatest flooding risk are rivers north and west of Nashville, especially the Red River. It is forecast to reach major flood stage and portions of the Cumberland River are expected to reach minor flood state and Clarksville and Dover.
