Redstone Arsenal Explosion

Two people were injured in an explosion Wednesday at Redstone Arsenal, where the Army develops weapons and conducts missile training, a base official said.
A Redstone spokesperson said it happened at 8:45 Wednesday morning at Aviation Missile Research Development and Engineering Center test area 10.

HEMSI Director Don Webster said three ambulances and one helicopter responded to the scene at building 7352.

One patient was flown to Huntsville Hospital and the other to UAB. The extent of their injuries is not known.

One responder said the area where the explosion happened is a heavy demolition site. They have been testing there for days. They are still not sure what went wrong.

One HEMSI paramedic described the scene as "horrific."

The commander is doing a walk through. There was an apparent fire after the explosion, but it was put out. Everyone has been accounted for in the building.

Redstone Arsenal was built in 1941 to produce convention chemical ammunition for WWII. Later, Dr. Werner von Braun and his team developed the first ballistic missile. That led to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in 1960.

Redstone is now home to the Army Aviation and Missile Command. Redstone serves 157,223 Soldiers (active, retired and dependents) and 27,620 civilians.

Redstone is 37,910 acres and has 11.7 million square feet of building space
