<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Obviously it should be no mystery as to what the train was carrying. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The derailment caused a <span style="color:#000000;font-size:x-large;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">big explosion</span></strong></span>, so it ought to be rather obvious what material exploded. There was plenty of buzz about the possibility of hazardous materials. Is there no curiosity in the news media about what it was that exploded? Somebody here speculated that it was ammonium nitrate. I have understood that A.N. will not explode when exposed to fire in quantities as small as railcars.</span></p>
