[I'm not doubting it exists-- I mean the above sincerely. Your point would be a lot more forceful if you showed it wasn't hindsight bias.]
- Jtsummers 6y agohttps://www.atf.gov/explosives/table-distances https://www.atf.gov/explosives/table-distances That is an example of the kind of tables that exist that show what can be stored with and near what, and how much. Storing of explosives is well understood. They try these explosives in various quantities, near each other, with different heat and other effects applied. Through these experiments and through real-world accidents and catastrophes they know what shouldn't be done. What happened here was an example of what shouldn't be done.
