During a routine munitions inspection at Scott Air Force Base's munitions storage area yesterday, members of the 375th Logistics Readiness Squadron identified some unstable  dynamite in their munitions igloos.

Safety protocol procedures dictated that the unstable dynamite be destroyed immediately. Civil Engineer Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians destroyed the unstable dynamite in a series of shots that concluded just before midnight last night.

The munitions were detonated at night as a safety precaution, since the majority of Scott's workers are at home.
