ATHENS, Texas — Ammonium nitrate, the chemical fertilizer, is being blamed for the deadly explosion in West two months ago.

State health officials say there are 129 buildings across the state storing dangerous levels of ammonium nitrate.

But in downtown Athens, Texas, few citizens are aware of a stockpile of the fertilizer similar to the amount that exploded in West.

Athens is a quiet East Texas community where the town square is still active and a place where residents enjoy the simple life.

But just one block off the square, one encounters a not-so-quaint setting.

Outside of an old building that some say needs to be torn down, there's a different type of activity. Several times a week, a chemical truck pulls up in front and unloads something into the building.

Nothing illegal is going on. In fact, what's inside is typically harmless.

We watched a truck driver unload 25 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

The driver said he's been delivering to the building for 15 years. The driver said he is familiar with the hazards of ammonium nitrate, but he doesn’t believe anything at this warehouse poses a threat.

By now, the whole country is aware of what happened in West on April 17. Ammonium nitrate stored in a wooden blending plant caught on fire and exploded.
