Ammonium nitrate is quite stable, making it one of the safest explosives used in mining. Fire normally won’t set it off. It becomes highly explosive only if contaminated – for instance by oil – or heated to a point where it undergoes chemical changes that produce a sort of impermeable cocoon around it in which oxygen can build up to a dangerous level where an ignition can cause an explosion. Why, after sleeping in Hangar 12 for seven years, did this pile suddenly feel an itch to explode?

Thanks for the link, Leland. I have gone back to Meyssan’s original article, which is sadly lacking in sources. From My experience, he usually turns out to be right. Perhaps because he seems to rely on anonymous intelligence whistleblowers.
