Explosions, whether related to battery and energy production and storage, accidental industrial incidents, unintended combustion of manufacturing materials, or intentional bombings, have led to catastrophic consequences. Notable examples include the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion (2010), the Merrimack Valley gas explosions in Massachusetts (2016), and the Surprise, Arizona energy storage system explosion (2019). These events have resulted in deaths, countless injuries, and billions of dollars in damages.
