In the wee hours of August 7, 1959, a truck loaded with dynamite and ammonium nitrate exploded in downtown Roseburg, Oregon and leveled eight city blocks. You can read all about it [here](https://www.cityofroseburg.org/visitors/1959-blast) and see the devastation [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fytgiaab5bE) - it also took out Bill Stock Motors and some lovely Plymouths.
