Good counter, I suppose it's irresponsible to act as though ANFO / ammonium nitrate alone is fully innert. What you'll notice looking through that list though is the vast majority of those accidents are related to fertilizer production. It seems silly but partly it's a volume matter, partly it must be an industry attitude. When people think of mines, explosives come to mind. There's relatively few companies controlling the worlds' supply chains so good practices are widespread. The same cannot be said for fertilizer products though, given the ubiquitous use, high tonnage, and lack of consolidation and awareness.
