I am not surprised at all that it was intentionally set- but kudos to the ATF for their persistence.

Officials launched a hunt Wednesday for possible criminal suspects in the 2013 explosion that killed 15 people at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, after announcing the fire that triggered the blast was arson.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced a $50,000 reward for information. Officials said they had made no arrests.
The fire at the West Fertilizer Co. facility in April 2013 caused ammonium nitrate to ignite, triggering a massive explosion that killed 15, injured hundreds more and left part of the small town in ruins.
I hope they find who did this crime and prosecute to fullest extent of the law!
My oldest granddaughter got married in West last fall and the people of West are still dealing with the trauma from the explosion, and will for a long time. They have rebuilt the nursing the home that was obliterated, I believe they are still working on the schools that were destroyed.
