Butte AeroTec: Unintended blast puts facility on the map

It was early in 2011 when the Butte AeroTec Facility http://www.montanaaerospace.org/2011/07/19/butte-aerotec-facility/ experienced a really big boom.

It just wasn’t the type of "boom" most industries like to have.

An explosion occurred during the test firing of a 22-inch rocket and destroyed a $168,000 building that was paid for by Butte-Silver Bow County. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but it certainly appeared to be a major setback for the burgeoning test facility located in the Port of Montana southwest of Butte.
