In my experience places with lax safety protocols just keep getting worse, the safety minded people quit and only those who crack jokes about OSHA and think a safety meeting is smoking a bowl in the parking lot stick around. Can't imagine too many people who prioritize workplace safety would want to work at a dynamite plant, I sure wouldn't.

Probably never know the cause, how much evidence could possibly be left after and explosion like that?
