Explosion at Ft. Bragg Login/Join 
Too old to run,

Have searched the "news" about the explosion at Ft. Bragg.

It apparently happened on one of the ranges near where my Grandson was working. Last count was 4 dead and several more wounded.

Only way we have heard about this is that Nate called to tell family that he was OK, not hurt.

Wonder why no news reports about this.

Yeah, I found some "headlines" and crap stories about it.

Nate called his mom and wife to let them know that he had not been hurt. The incident was apparently further down the line from where he was.

I sincerely hope not. I used to teach such courses.

I'll have to do some digging.
