Narrative:
We had explosive and corrosive cargo on board along with a live dog. Upon arrival I was informed by the ground supervisor that none of the explosive; corrosive cargo; or the dog was tied down. All containers were thrown all over and tossed about. He mentioned that all of this cargo should be secured. That the way it was was extremely unsafe.
