A gender-reveal celebration at a concrete plant in rural New Hampshire involved someone detonating 80 pounds of Tannerite, an over-the-counter explosive, police said.
Some residents thought the explosion was an earthquake or a car accident. Residents of Kingston, N.H., correctly assumed the explosion originated from a local cement factory but were dead wrong about the cause.
Local resident Amy Owen was standing at her backdoor when the explosion occurred. “We live in a four-family townhouse in Plaistow, and it shook our house so bad that we thought someone drove into our building,” Owen told the New Hampshire Union Leader.
“The kids all scrambled, saying ‘earthquake,’ before asking me what it was,” she said. After checking that her kids were unharmed, Owen said she ran outside and found her fiancé checking to see if a car had rammed their building.
