A Louisiana town has been evacuated after around six million pounds of explosive material was found improperly stored. The explosives, pellets of M6 propellant, were found stored outside in boxes and barrels at a former ammunition plant near the town of Doyline. Police have evacuated the town's population while they move the materials into safe storage. Authorities have contacted executives from the company responsible for storing the material, Explo Systems Inc., seeking an explanation.
