ANFO is basically impossible to detonate without the right primer and milk tanks can’t have baffles in them so the sloshing liquid is not fun on acceleration, braking or turning.
This guy tanks.
Why can't milk tanks have baffles?
EDIT: I looked it up it's because the baffles add complexity to cleaning for food grade reasons. So it's not because they can't, but rather because logistics companies won't due to increased cost.
I asked my milkman this once, he told me to shutup and mind my own business.
I thought to myself, how dairy.
Because you'd end up with a load of butter from the churning.
Reminder that basically impossible ≠ impossible. The Beirut explosion was a big bunch of ANFO going off.
Most sites bring it unmixed and mix the ammonia nitrate and diesel on site.
