Negligence and lax government oversight led to a fatal explosion at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, according to a $20 million wrongful death lawsuit filed this month by the family of the worker killed in the blast.

Lawrence Bass Jr., 55, was killed, and four other workers were injured, when an explosive material called tetrazene exploded on April 11, 2017.

Orbital ATK seems clearly negligent in this case. Without adequate records maintenance it is difficult to know the degree to which the Army is responsible. The absence of records, however, leaves them with little defense
