Explosions In Art Military Weapons Pictorial Works

Photographs of shards of munitions and warfare ammunitions which the citizens of Río Tercero, Córdoba, Argentina, took home following the explosion of a military weapons factory on November 3, 1995. The Argentinian executive branch declared the explosion was an accident, but the warehouses were intentionally blown up in order to hide evidence of arms trafficking to Croatia and Ecuador in which the Argentinian president Carlos Menem was involved. Seven people were killed and more than three hundred wounded.
