Regarding the crater, that is typical for a large explosion, especially with ammonium nitrate. Ammonium nitrate as an explosive has a much slower detonating velocity than TNT, dynamite, etc, so it tends to make a crater as it 'pushes' it's energy 360*.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 9:39 am Before and after picture of the explosion site. Huge crater. If the ammonium nitrate was on the floor of the warehouse at ground level, why did the explosion create a deep crater? Seems like the force of the blast at ground level would have completely collapsed the adjacent grain elevators.

And that was ALOT of ammonium nitrate.
