60,000 Lbs. Explosive Ammonium Nitrate Missing from Train in California

“This is a BIG problem. Takes a sophisticated operation to disappear 60,000 pounds of anything. So it was either a fed op or a foreign intelligence op. It would take a whole bunch of money to unload, gather up and transport. No dindu nuffin gang could pull this off.”

It’s not a problem.

1.) How would anyone know what’s loaded on what railcar without access to the manifest?

2.) How do you off load it from a MOVING train?

3.) Even if the train stopped, how would someone wanting that cargo know when/where it stops in advance to have resources in place to off load it?

This is FR, there's always somebody who's made/packed sausage.

Not me, but I do have a bit of book larnin'...

I have played with the stuff as a kid.
We tried to light it with a propane torch.
We got something going, the walnut log section we were using as our table in the woods. The stuff melts at the temperatures I saw it at. No idea on temperature but it was glowing red outside during the day. Some of it was consumed but not much. we made a hardball sized depression on top of the log.
Then we mixed some with sugar and had huge smoke from a tiny sample. It spattered and made so much smoke we never repeated the experiment.
“things that make ya go ‘Hmmmmmm’ “

A common semi-truck grain hopper can hold approximately 1,000 bushels of wheat – or 60,000 pounds of wheat in a single load.

I guess 2-3 trucks max if it was pilfered.
If it is air movable as the round pellets displayed in the article suggest, the loading equipment could have been concealed inside a truck unlike a long auger or conveyor.

If it was covered because it blows away at high speed it could have escaped thru the top or bottom due to human error or mechanical failure.

There might be some intoxicated hobos reclining on new trackside beanbag furniture as I type.

Already covered those with other posters on the thread.

Was Bryan Cranston seen in the area?😏

Ammonium Nitrate was the chemical that led to the huge explosion of April 1947 in the port of Texas City.

The ‘trigger’ was fire, not fuel oil. So, if the pellets were dumped from loose doors onto the tracks, wild brush fires may find the location.

“Ammonium Nitrate was the chemical that led to the huge explosion of April 1947 in the port of Texas City.”

False. The “ammonium nitrate” that was on that ship was mixed with two different kinds of flammable petrochemicals. And when you mix ammonium nitrate with flammable petrochemicals, you now have ANFO, not ammonium nitrate.

Another sign of how inept our society is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if our own gov’t would orchestrate simultaneous terror attacks against it’s own citizens to force a suspension of The Constitution.

It was always about control.

Looks like the deep state is setting up the mother of all false flags. The revelation and attention to the BU's criminal activity in the wake of Durham's report must have them really spooked.

The feebs will murder a huge number of innocent Americans and blame the attack on Republicans for daring to defund the filthy dirty scumbags.

When I was a tunnel miner, we used primers for detonators...one stick of Hercules 65% with a delay blasting cap. I would double prime my holes when we used “prill”.
The ANFO was transported to the heading in tanks on the powder car. The “prill” was injected into the drill holes using compressed air. It would really pull a round...IF, we weren’t in water, which was a lot of the time.
Darn stuff let you know where every cut or scrape on your body was...burned like crazy.
