Exactly. Ammonium nitrate is benign by itself. It needs to br treated with fuel oil to become explosive. This was most likely 2700 tons of Weapons grade ANFO. That had the explosive power of a small nuke.

False. The Grandcamp’s ammonium nitrate didn’t need to be mixed with anything in order to explode. It needs to be packed tight and get overheated-just like this. There was not one drop of fuel mixed with the tons of ammonium nitrate that blew Texas City to pieces in 1947-and that is a fact.
