If you're shitting it, you're in trouble. Nitrates have a range of uses, fertilisers, oxidising agents (explosives) for example. Potassium nitrate is a component of gunpowder.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 5, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just seen a video of someone walking down the street following the explosion. My advice is, if you’re sent the video, bin it without opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 5, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2020 Grim! I attended an incident early in my career; about 1987 ish, where a pit deputy (foreman) had collected sticks of dynamite and ended his life with them strapped to his body. Imagine the aftermath of that and then multiply by a few thousand tons of high explosive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
