...ideal not only because of its destructive potential but also for its relative safety. So stable that it cannot explode spontaneously, ANFO is considerably safer than dynamite, which contains volatile nitroglycerin. You can light a match to ANFO, jump up and down on it, even shoot a bullet at it, but it isn't likely to blow up.

The same cannot be said for the close-knit town of Montclair, which immediately went into mourning and flew its flags at half-staff. For the lone survivor of the attack, who is recovering from three bullet wounds in the head, and for the families of the victims, the horror and grief have barely begun.
