PRESS CONFERENCE: AES explosion leaves some dead and others missing in Bucksnort, Tennessee

Some people are dead and several others are missing after an explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems in the Bucksnort, Tennessee area Friday morning. Sheriff Chris Davis with Humphreys County Sheriff's Office said the "devastating blast" took place around 7:45 a.m. Friday. He adds they are working to notify families of those deceased and unaccounted for. The explosion encompassed one whole building on the facilities, and the scene is secure as possible at this time. Various agencies responded to the scene including the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the FBI Nashville Field Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Homeland Security. This is a joint operation with Humphreys County Sheriff's Office and Hickman County Sheriff's Office, with Accurate Energetic Systems sitting on the state line. Sheriff Davis says Accurate Energetic Systems is cooperating with the investigation. The Hickman County Sheriff's Office urges everyone to avoid the area to allow responders to do their work. "At this time, we ask everyone to please keep your community, first responders, and those affected in your thoughts and prayers," the Hickman County Emergency Management Agency wrote on their Facebook page. Social media comments say some felt the explosion in Williamson and Maury counties. Another user wrote "I’m in Bucksnort and my entire house shook. Prayers for everyone there." The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency has dispatched a district coordinator to assist with the response efforts. Sheriff Davis says this will be a very big investigation, and officials will be on the scene for a few days. A second press conference will be held at noon CST.
