Raleigh — At least one mortar shell exploded Tuesday morning after it got mixed in with a load of scrap metal at a processing plant on Garner Road, police said.
Witnesses said they heard two explosions and saw some smoke at Raleigh Metals Recycling, at 2310 Garner Road, at about 11 a.m. (WRAL.com)
How does something like this happen? I mean, a couple of Hispanic guys show up in a pickup truck full of mortar shells, and you buy them? It says a lot about the management of this place. In today's post 911 climate where BOMBS are tantamount to terrorist activity, you would think the buyer would call the police immediately. Maybe even stall the guys until the police arrive. But no! They buy the bombs and then try to compact them, intent on making every last buck, even if it sends two of their employees to the hospital and shuts down half the city.
