Investigators confirmed that ammonium nitrate was the material that exploded.[8] On May 11, 2016, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives stated that the fire had been deliberately set

Video reminds me of the worst Soviet N-1 explosion I think it was the second or third launch attempt.
