Apparently, it isn't a good idea to stockpile ammunition in a hangar in the Phoenix area...
What am I looking at? A blown out hangar section?
Yes. That overhead beam used to be straight. Some dude had a lot of ammo in his hangar at FFZ and it went cablooey. Damaged other airplanes in adjacent hangars in the process.
Hmmm, burning ammo goes "pop" and then nothing except the heat and gas which evolved along with the "pop". Something else was involved here...
I seriously doubt the ammo just ignited itself and they all went pop and it blew the hangar door.Hmmm, burning ammo goes "pop" and then nothing except the heat and gas which evolved along with the "pop". Something else was involved here...
I'd put my money on a whole bunch of gunpowder or something really explosive that was easily ignited.

My money is on a BLIVE or an accelerant or both involved in that besides the ammo.
Liability insurance does not cover your plane -- it covers everything else, including the other planes destroyed if you cause damage to them.Insurance on the plane parked inside, yes.
I'm not required to carry liability insurance on anything else.

That would be a BLEVE :wink2:
