ANFO is basically impossible to detonate without the right primer and milk tanks can’t have baffles in them so the sloshing liquid is not fun on acceleration, braking or turning.
EDIT: I looked it up it’s because the baffles add complexity to cleaning for food grade reasons. So it’s not because they can’t, but rather because logistics companies won’t due to increased cost.
They usually bring full tankers of ANFO in to fill holes this big.
Fun fact: It’s safer to drive a tanker full of ANFO than a tanker full of milk.
Why is that exactly? Is it because the conservation of momentum of a liquid makes the vehicle more difficult to control?

Reminder that basically impossible ≠ impossible. The Beirut explosion was a big bunch of ANFO going off.
Why can’t milk tanks have baffles?

I asked my milkman this once, he told me to shutup and mind my own business.
I thought to myself, how dairy.
Because you’d end up with a load of butter from the churning.
This guy tanks.
