This 2-ton anchor was thrown more than 1.6 miles when the Grandcamp exploded. (Texas City 1947 disaster - about 2300 tons of amm nit.)

here’s the only reason it exploded, basically it was ANFO:

“It was manufactured in a patented process, mixed with clay, petrolatum, rosin and paraffin wax to avoid moisture caking.”
