It must have nitrate IIRC. You might not have heard of it (I wonder why…) but amonium nitrate concentrated in piles of IIRC was just fertilizer and made a really large explosion in Toulouse the 21 september 2001. Comparable to ten to 20 tons of TNT.
You’d hear two booms as the shockwave that went through the ground travelled several 1000m/s and the second only at the speed of sound. Lots of people believed there were 2 explosions, and the bang was so sharp everyone thought it was in their vicinity. Interesting times.
