This seems like an accident, I mean, fertiliser will do this under the right circumstances. I don't think it's a story worthy of its global attention though, it makes people jumpy getting this much coverage.

It probably wouldn't have gotten quite this much attention if not for the bombs in Boston the other day. The news over here has been about explosions almost nonstop ever since then and now there was another one. Not related and most likely a complete accident, but still an explosion.

Nitrogen based fertilizer is an excellent explosive.
