A massive shipment of 30 tons of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used in both fertilizers and explosives, disappeared during transportation from Wyoming to California, sparking four separate investigations. The railcar was found empty upon arrival, with intact seals, suggesting a mysterious leak through the bottom gate. The Federal Railroad Administration, California Public Utilities Commission, Union Pacific, and Dyno Nobel are all working to solve this perplexing and alarming national security puzzle.
In summary: 30 tons of explosive chemical vanished in transit – truly a puzzling case worthy of Sherlock Holmes. One can only hope our national security agencies figure this out before Moriarty gets his hands on it!
