    I don't see what could possibly go wrong with this. White supremacists fingerprints all over this one.

    Tim McVay no longer a threat. Lets get the fbi to run this to ground for the safety of USA before it becomes another Oklahoma City . Oh wait, they take their orders from dems who's strategy is to foment chaos e.g.(blm, antifa, queers, trans, gas stoves, defund police and military, reparations, student loan forgivness, debt ceiling, yada, yada, yada.

    I believe Timmy and the FBI & CIA only needed 2 tons for Oklahoma.
    There's a bunch of recruiting to be done now to prove the white supremacists guilty.

    If 2 tons was used on Oklahoma City, Does that mean whoever snatched the stuff has 15 targets in mind?

    Maybe someone forgot to tighten the lid and it blew out as the choo choo train as it drove down the street. You know, oopsie daisy, hey look! Ukraine, armed insurrectionists, and Nazis!

    Having worked in the feed and grain industry for 34 years, I cannot recall how many claims I have assisted in filing on grain cars that arrived with empty hoppers because the slide on the bottom was not fully closed.

    The weeds along that railroad will be extra thick and tall this year having been well fertilized.

    Most cars are 3 hoppers and max weight is ~100 tons. Corn cars usually ship at 90 to 100 tons each. Pelleted ammonium nitrate is dense enough to be in the 90 to 100 ton range per car also. One leaking hopper could easily account for 30 tons of lost cargo.

    There are lots of slide gate configurations in use. Older cars may have a slide that can be an inch or more short of fully seated yet the numbered seal can be attached and all appear normal.

    WOW. Thank you for another possibility for the missing ammonium nitrate. I feel so much better now knowing it could have been human error rather than ill will.

    I used to load and unload many different hazardous chemicals to and from rail cars. These hatches and covers all had to be sealed with numbered steel cables after unloading and loading - all of which backed up with a paper trail. Negligence was highly punishable.
