It sounds like there was a fireworks factory beside the location where the NH4NO3 was being stored.
The videos showed a nice Wilson cloud (condensation of water vapor) along with the shock wave. That was a seriously bad explosion.
In the video of the explosion, there are clearly smaller 'pops' going on around the initial smoke cloud. I would assume that one of those could light the ammonium nitrate.
