Yep, and they STILL don't know how many are missing... Sad and thoughts and prayers for all of them.
Looking up the stuff in the book: anhydrous ammonia: Don't touch with water. Highly reactive. Move back 1600 meters. Or further. Ammonium nitrate: More water is better. Drown it. You cannot put too much water on it; impossible. That plant had both, with over 500M tons of Ammonium nitrate there. Possibly a BLEVE occurred on an anhydrous tank, and set off the Ammonium nitrate. We have to wait and see, right now.
