I Hope You Boys Have A Couple Thousand Acres of Wheat to go With that There Ammonium Nitrate

A video of two of the Toronto 18 unloading 98% Ammonium Nitrate is also posted at the story below.

Via National Post: BRAMPTON -- The two scrawny terrorists are unloading bags labeled ammonium nitrate from the back of a delivery truck when one of them looks up and recoils in shock, while his partner backs into a wall and raises his hands in surrender.

A four-member police tactical team dressed all in black descends, laying them spread-eagled on the floor of the warehouse and cuffing their hands behind their backs before one of the officers raises his thumb to say mission accomplished.

The actual arrest is not on the video but a demonstration blast of similar power is.

They weren't screwing around. This is enough fertilizer to really make a big boomah. Fertilizer that rich in ammonium Nitrate is commonly used as a fertilizer for wheat, or so Short Man said when he blew those stumps. It is so rich it will burn up other crops if applied too heavily.
