United Kingdom | Faversham , Kent | April 2 , 1916 | 115 | The Great Explosion : On April 2 , 1916 , a factory in Uplees , Faversham , exploded after a fire spread to a store of 25 tons of TNT and 700 tons of ammonium nitrate . The blast at the Explosives Loading Company killed 115 people and shattered windows in Southend-on-Sea across the Thames Estuary while the tremor was felt in Norwich | United States | Morgan , New Jersey ( now Sayreville ) | October 4 , 1918 | ~100 | T. A. Gillespie Company Shell Loading Plant explosion : On October 4 , 1918 , an explosion at the Morgan Depot occurred leading to many artillery shells being launched into the air , some of which landed on a neighbouring warehouse where 4000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate were stored in barrels . One of the shells caused a large explosion , but the majority of the ammonium nitrate did not detonate | Germany | Kriewald | July 26 , 1921 | 19 | On July 26 , 1921 , in this railway town ( now in Poland ) workers tried to dislodge 30 tonnes of ammonium nitrate that had aggregated ( solidified into one mass ) in two wagons . When mining explosives were used on this solid mass the wagons exploded and killed nineteen people | Germany | Oppau | September 21 , 1921 | 561 | Explosion at BASF plant Oppau : Another attempt at disaggregation of a fertilizer mix with industrial explosives caused the death of 561 people and left more than 2000 injured . The fertilizer was a 50:50 mixture of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate and the factory had used this method of disaggregation over 20,000 times without incident . It is thought that , on this occasion , poor mixing had led to certain parts of the mass containing more ammonium nitrate than others . Only 450 tonnes exploded , out of 4500 tonnes of fertilizer stored in the warehouse | United States | Nixon , New Jersey ( now Edison Township ) | March 1 , 1924 | 20 | 1924 Nixon Nitration Works disaster : On March 1 , 1924 , a fire and several large explosions destroyed a warehouse containing ammonium nitrate at the Nixon Nitration Works . The explosiveness of the product was perhaps enhanced , as it had been prepared using nitric acid that had previously been used for the production of TNT | United States | Muscle Shoals , Alabama | 1925 | 0 | On April 4 , 1925 , and May 3 , 1925 , two carloads , each containing 220 barrels of ammonium nitrate , were dispatched from Muscle Shoals , Alabama , and caught fire in transportation . The barrels had been stored in a warehouse with varying humidity for 6 years , so it is believed that they were ignited by friction with their nitrate-impregnated manila paper lining . Other shipments were reportedly more successful | France | Miramas | August 5 , 1940 | 0 | 240 tonnes of ammonium nitrate in sacks exploded after being hit by a shell from a nearby fire in a munitions train
