My Dad did always tell me not to play with fireworks, he said something like this would happen.

I am somewhat confused. Ammonia Nitrate is an explosive chemical particularly in a confined space where temperatures and pressures can get to a critical level of explosive detonation via the shock wave through the mass of Nitrates.

You can take a pile of this stuff and drop it on the ground and drop matches into it and nothing will happen.

I am confused.

Ground level view starting at about the 56 second mark.

Looks and sounds like fireworks to me...
