I don’t get it.
It was suspected that the theft happened in Ohio, yet some of the fireworks were recovered in southwest Detroit near the CSX Depot ?

The stolen fireworks made it to detroit before the train that carried them ?

As this official explained, handlers must have a permit before using and they are not to be set off by the general public, only professionals.

So the news after they are set of by professional terrorists will be "charges include setting off explosives without a permit....
