There was a very bug explosion in Iran a few years ago when a train crash happened. a Fuel truck leaked into a truck of AN and a huge blast followed when it detonated. This happened several hours after the initial crash wjhen sadly many crowds had appeared to try and syphon off the remaining fuel. It is unknown how many died
I get curious about this sort of thing. I'm not doubting it happened or that the loss of life is tragic but I always thought ANFO was remarkably difficult to make go off in an explosion or at least sufficiently difficult that it could be moved in bulk. I'm wondering what happened in your example to detonate the An/fuel mix.
