Is that how it was in West also? Any temperature rise would have caused an explosion?

I don't know, I am not familiar with the physical facts of the West, Texas plant, and I have not addressed that facility in any of my posts.

I'm gonna have to wait for the facts to become available.

I don’t see any vessels on the site that look like they store anhydrous ammonia. I am used to seeing it stored in long horizontal white cylinders.

Here they say:::
“The West facility stores anhydrous ammonia, a fertilizer produced from fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal, used to feed crops, prevent diseases and fight off pests.

West Fertilizer mixes dry fertilizer and stores anhydrous ammonia in large tanks. Agricultural anhydrous ammonia must be stored under high pressure in specially designed tanks and must be handled with care.”
