Anything that starts with “ammo” could be bad.
Pipeline people get especially nervous when we are near an ammonia pipeline with heavy equipment
BIG bada boom if you light one up
Such an explosion has happened before. A boatload of Ammonium Nitrate aboard a ship in the harbor in Galveston, Texas (April 16, 1947), also blew up, destroying a large part of the wharf and some nearby ships. It was probably the first time such a huge explosion was attributed to NH4NO3 (the chemical formula of Ammonium Nitrate), but its capability as a fast-reacting chemical was already known, as this is an ammonium analog to both saltpeter (used in early gunpowder) and potassium nitrate which is the ingredient in most modern “smokeless” gunpowders.
i always heard that diesel fuel and ammonium nitrate together are like nitroglycerin- very touchy.
