I am not surprised in the least bit. Ammonium Nitrate fertilizers are an extremely powerful explosive, and the process in making it involves fairly explosive chemicals as well.
ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) explosives are a very commonly used industrial explosive used in the mining industry, and because of its ease of acquisition it is a choice explosive for terrorists. The OKC bombing, the first WTC attack, and a number of other high profile bombings were all ANFO bombs.
Basically don't fuck with the stuff. It likes to explode big. If I knew I was near a fertilizer plant that was on fire I'd be going the fuck the other way as fast as possible. |
you realize that ANFO is a mixed compound...... the AN part is very stable.... its when you mix it with the FO part (see diesel fuel for terrorists, and less volatile component for industrial blasting) then it becomes dangerous.
Unless some libertarian broke into the plant and dumped 40,000 gallons of diesel into their batching silo's, i doubt this was an ANFO explosion.

Yeah, I’d like to know what horrible, scarring incident in your childhood turned you into such an ignorant, intellectual-hating philistine? |
