I think it spread to some sort of nitrate storage

hmm......orange smoke?



2,200 tons of nitrate blew up and here is a few details of the power of that explosiion:

"A 2-short-ton (1.8-metric-ton) anchor of Grandcamp was hurled 1.62 miles (2.61 km) and found in a 10-foot (3 m) crater. It was installed at a memorial park. The other main 5-short-ton (4.5-metric-ton) anchor was hurled 1⁄2 mile (800 m) to the entrance of the Texas City Dike"

Most frightening video of this I've seen today:



damn, really good view of that pressure wave.

after listening to the piece on the texas city explosion talking about the bright orange flame and the orange smoke you have to think there was just a bit of nitrate in that building and sodium nitrate is used to manufacture fireworks
