    Goex was a black powder plant located in Moosic, PA. It has operated since the early 1900's but due to the nature of the job, several explosions have happened over the years killing several employees. Come with us as we take a look at what remains on the grounds of the Goex Powder Plant. Enjoy

    Goex was the only manufacturer of black powder for the civilian market in the US. Theres one in Indiana i believe for the US military used in their big guns between primers and powder, as in a duplex load

    Ironically Dupont began this company and the father of Pierre DuPont (the most well known businessman) died working in a nitro factory explosion.

    Really enjoyed that explore. The explosions and fire must have done a lot of damage to the structures .That looks like too much destruction to just be natural decay in only 26 years. We never appreciate the danger people might encounter to bring us our products........( or our awesome videos ..).thanks JP,

    Just watched your video where you were up by the Dunmore Reservoir looking for the QT references. Just so happens to be one in this video at the 11:45 mark. I’ll never forget the night in ‘97 the plant went up. I was outside of my parents house playing basketball in Old Forge and heard the two explosions.

    Recently another explosion happened at GOEX (Lousiana) on the Wheel Mill. Does anyone know how many of them did they have? Thank God no casualties.

    One only has to see this video and look into how many people have died to understand why Black Powder is so incredibly dangerous. Even the safer, but closest substitute to it known as Pyrodex still uses Black Powder and it resulted in the co-developer Dan Pawlak's death along with three others when a powder magazine flared up at Hodgdon's Washington based facility.
    Today Hodgdon owns the GOEX name, and Pyrodex along with Goex is made in a state of the art facility with very minimal human interaction.
