Apparently the werehouse had 2700kg of Nitrate. The nitrite was sorted here for 9 years.
And now we see with that shockwave why Nitrates are used in things like anfo and terror bombs.
The shockwave is comparatively long, and does far more damage than other forms of explosions.
Also why Nitrates are not stored in large open piles, but small protected packages.
It's going to be a major disaster.
