PEPCON disaster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEPCON_disaster



Because 20 years ago;

1) Someone forgot to tell PEPCON stop making ammonium perchlorate while the shuttle fleet was grounded,
2) Someone at PEPCON said "hey, lets just store all this stuff in the parking lot since NASA isn't taking delivery of it, and
3) Some idiot threw a lit cigarette into a drum of AP..

Sure, sounds like a good reason to me!
