That'll buff right out.
Yeah. Let the pros handle it.
Exactly!
I know people were hurt and I’m sorry for that but the bomb squad blowing up the bomb squad truck is too funny not to laugh out loud
Cue John Candy on SCTV dressed as a country hick:
“They Blowed It Up REAL GOOD!!”
“Bomb Squad...If you see me running, you better catch up!”
I share your concern and hope people weren’t hurt. Otherwise, I LAUGHED OUT LOUD!
A new truck they will get!
This is unbelievable incompetence. And how could fireworks have that much energy released so quickly? They’re hardly explosives normally, just fast burning. Something about being confined in the truck’s box?
I’ve seen other reports calling them home-made explosives.
Check out the car blown up on its side. That was a lot of force being dispensed.
I don't know what started it, some small spark, or maybe a hot exhaust pipe. Being in a confined space, packed in with other fireworks, the flame would spread to the next item, in turn igniting more and more fireworks. Those, then, would burn, and as more ignited, the pressure would build, igniting more and more fireworks, until the pressure was high enough to explode the truck.
Low explosives, like black powder, need a confined space to explode. Throw a cartridge in a fire, it will just pop like a firecracker, but in the barrel of a gun, the bullet will be expelled with enough force to go half a mile.
I love irony.

Cue Leslie Nielsen standing in front of the exploding fireworks factory.
“Please, everything is under control. Let the experts handle it.”
Whatever happened to the Mod Squad?
Don't they want to downsize the police department anyway? They just got a head start on that.
For some reason, the best item here are the keywords.
boom. oops.
They have abandoned standards in favor of diversity.
Considering that they stood by and watched the city burn, watched people being attacked by rioters, watched businesses be looted and destroyed last summer, this is no surprise..
The news media is still going on and on and on about this like the cops are so great for saving us from the dangerous fireworks. Ughhhh.
They do this every year in the weeks before the 4th: The news media issues hysterical "danger!😱" warnings about fireworks while the PD applauds itself for each bust it makes of fireworks vendors.
But when I see these "reports" , I think: "Really? This is what they spent their time and effort on? Fireworks? How much did this cost taxpayers?"
And now, crime is "skyrocketing" but they are still, only focusing on people selling skyrockets. 🙄
