One Man Dead as Fireworks Plant Explodes in Hanover
An explosion at the National Fireworks Company plant in Hanover Massachusetts killed a man and severely burned several others. A spark from a new powder mining machine ignited hundreds of pounds of black gunpowder, destroying a score of mixing sheds and threatening large buildings.

More than 2,000 pounds of gunpowder were in the building at the time and the plant faced over $50,000 in damage.
