Interesting reading about other, similar explosions for those who fall down wikiholes:

Halifax Explosion: French ship carrying high explosives collides with another ship outside Halifax, Nova Scotia, and explodes, killing 2,000, injuring 9,000, and wiping out part of the city. The explosion also caused a tsunami that wiped out a nearby First Nation settlement.

Port Chicago Disaster: Not far outside San Francisco, 1944, US Navy taskmasters supervise mostly black, untrained enlistedmen in loading munitions into ships to go blow up Japanese and Germans. Units have speed-loading competitions and bets with each other, literally resulting in loading crews chucking live munitions into hatches. Eventually somebody drops something too hard and everything explodes, killing 320 and wounding 390. Pieces of the ship's anchor were flung 12,000 feet into the air, landing high on the slopes of nearby Mt. Diablo.

The anchor got blown from Port Chicago to Mt. Diablo that's crazy. Nice little bay area knowledge nugget thanks for sharing.

Interesting Fact:

The Middle East, and the West Coast of the US both possess a Mt Diablo, a Mt Carmel, a Mt Golgotha, as well as a mega city named "The City" (Istanbul translated into English, and San Francisco's nickname), and a "Cities of the Plain" (Las Vegas translated into English, and Sodom and Gomorrah in Israel; along with Admah, Zeboim, and Bela 2 of which were destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah, sparing only Bela; a story detailed in the book of Genesis and retraced in Ezekiel 16)

When the Rosicrucians landed in Monterey Bay, they established a monastery on Mount Carmel, and moved a vast amount of the historical record from Essene sect of Judaism from Mount Carmel in Israel to Mount Carmel in California.

In fact, the original location for the construction of the Rosicrucian Temple in San Jose, CA was Carmel, CA due to the sacred relationship between the Essenes and Mount Carmel, but for reasons I cant quite recall at this time, was decidedly moved to San Jose, CA where it still is today.

Fertilizer, chemicals and anything dangerous requires a hazmat registration or its seized at the port

it was a few containers full of 50.0.0 and a welder probably was melting a lock

a few years it turns to liquid and its basically plastic explosives

I'm happy for them. They got really fucked over in the 90s when all of a sudden the worlds biggest guns decided to choose sides in a conflict no one understood.
