270 tones of ammonium nitrate and tank car after tank car of anhydrous ammonia.
The average gas station has tank capacity for maybe 30,000 gallons and they are rarely full. All of it is underground and away from potential ignition sources. They are also designed by people who know what they are doing. Something this facility in Texas could have used.
So your statements just arent true.
The equivalent is about 63,000 gal of gasoline, and most decent sized gas stations have between 60-120,000 gallons in storage.
Even if it were just over 10,000 gallons, the implied safety standoff distance in the event of a catastrophic failure would exceed 1000ft.
This implies no more gas stations off the interstate highways, unless they are a couple of blocks away from the road.
Think about that the next time you’re driving down the highway and see a gas station.
