More than 500 pounds of commercial grade fireworks were stolen off a CSX train bound for Detroit.
Federal law enforcement agencies are searching for the missing cargo, considered explosives due to the amount missing.
About 15 to 20 pounds were recovered in southwest Detroit near the CSX Depot on the southwest side, according to Donald Dawkins of CSX. The 32 case commercial grade aerial shells are categorized as not for public use.

If I were a terrorist, Detroit would be my destination of choice. If I wanted to smuggle something onboard a plane, I’d go to Detroit Metro Airport, and I’d find the security guard with the longest fingernails and get in her line. It’s also, apparently, a good place to get your hands on some explosives.
Maybe some of Glenn Beck’s vetter Syrian-Armenian Christians want revenge on the Turkish diplomats.
Oh boy, here we go, getting ready to cause a crisis to stop the elections...you heard it here first...
Things I have Noticed: Sometimes, the longer and more ornate the fingernails, the wider the hips, and tighter the clothing.
Shipping but 1,000 lbs. of anything by rail sounds unlikely. Who would do that?
I aint flying again.
Joke.
Michigan State Police announced the discovery of an arms cache of 200 semi-automatic rifles,
with 250,000 rounds of ammunition, 10 anti-tank missiles, 4 grenade launchers,
2 tons of heroin,
$12 million in forged bills and a ring of 14 prostitutes,
all in a housing project behind the Detroit Public Library.
Detroit folks were stunned.
A community organizer said: ‘We’re shocked !

“We never knew we had a library.”
BATFE just carted off our explosives.
Maybe someone stole them for private use.
I like when they say that they hope the explosives don’t “fall into the wrong hands.”. They were stolen! hahahahahaha
Why would anyone ship fireworks to Detroit ? Fireworks are used for celebration.
The only thing I can think of is that they finally burned down the last house.
Or they made their budget goal of $45.
“What’s wrong with this picture?”
HAHAHAHAHA!
Great, now we’ll have red, white, and blue IEDs made from American parts! Thank you, Hussein Obama.
Boston Marathon bombers used commercial fireworks to build
their bomb.
Extracted powder used in pressure cooker bomb....
We’ll know what kind of people who stole it in a few days. If it was just goofs, they’ll be so excited that they’ll set at least one off this weekend (Here, hold muh beer an’ watch this.) after a twelve pack, and someone will notice.
If it was someone with evil intent, we will hear nothing until we hear something very bad.
