60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate missing from a train

Just looked it up and the disaster in Beirut, Lebanon was caused by 2.75 kiloton, or 2750 tons.
The amount that disappeared in the incident this week is more than 10 times that much.
I'd like more than some David Copperfield Statue of Liberty TV Special level explanation.

This is what this stuff did in Beirut:

4,800 pounds for Oklahoma City bombing, about 2 1/2 tons.

2,300 tons for the 1947 Texas City disaster.
