RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 17 (UPI) -- Live anti-tank shells that exploded at nearby scrapyard in Raleigh, N.C., caused Doug Davis' tavern to lose a few days of business.
Davis' beer-only bar, The Barn, was basically shut down from Tuesday until Friday when things got back to normal, The News & Observer in Raleigh reported.
Two workers at Raleigh Metals Processors were injured Tuesday when the ammunition exploded while being compacted into bales for recycling.
The explosives were traced to Sanford, where two men detained by police said the munitions came from the Fort Bragg area. The men were charged Friday with immigration violations.
The Barn was packed Friday after things cleared up, Davis said, adding that Greg Brown, the scrapyard owner, came by and bought a round. But Davis said he is still upset about the lost business and will seek compensation.
