Police told told the Union Leader the group holding the reveal thought the quarry was a safe spot to include explosives in their celebration. Police did not say if Torromeo Industries gave permission for the party to be held on their property.

Tannerite is a product sold as a kit made up of several oxidizers and aluminum powder that is mixed by the user. It was created by Daniel Tanner in 1996 when he was trying to come up with an exploding target, according to the company website.
