I thought that Ammonium Nitrate needed some type of other explosion, an initiator, to cause the Ammonium Nitrate to detonate. I’ve heard there were “fireworks” stored near the AN. Would fireworks really initiate an AN detonation? Something seems fishy about this whole thing.

AN just needs to get hot enough to go boom. Catching fire will set it off.

The guy who was welding set off the explosion as far as I know.
