Gravel trucks haul 20 tons at a time. That makes 19 trucks.

Gravel is much more dense than the high explosive in question. You would need several times as many dump trucks.

That's why the rest of us were advising the looters to use 60 foot vans!

Yes--20 tons of gravel. Don't confuse weight with volume. For instance, a sack of cement weighs 90 pounds & a much larger sack of dogfood will weigh 40 pounds.
