Let me correct/ amend my post.

AN has an explosive detonation velocity of ‘only’ 2700 m/s, while det cord, pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN, pentrite) explodes at a rate of approximately 6400 m/s.

Peesuming that was AN, it was a LOT of AN, detonated.

2740 TONS is a lot of AM. That is how much was in the warehouse/ There was a fireworks factory beside the warehouse that caught fire.
