Over a dozen people were hurt when an LAPD bomb squad truck was blown to smithereens during a planned detonation of illegal fireworks on Wednesday night.
The enormous blast came after authorities confiscated over 5,000 pounds of illegal fireworks from a South Los Angeles home. One person was arrested, according to CBSLA and the LAPD.
In addition to the injuries, the explosion also wrecked nearby cars and damaged homes.
Seconds before things went haywire, officers on the ground quickly backed away from the squad trailer. According to CBSLA, the officer then screamed, “Fire in the hole!”
The LAPD, however, in a statement posted to Twitter said the cause of the blast was unclear.

Let this be a lesson to you folks. Leave the disposing of fireworks to the professionals. It's great to see pros at work!

Thanks for the links.
It’s unbelievable that they did it in the middle of the street and not in an open field or something.

Attention LAPD Dumbasses! Water renders fireworks useless, and without the smoke and noise.

5000 lbs of explosive?
That’s kind of like five Mk 84’s.

Like I said, I knew you’d like this one.
I guess the A team was taking leave for the 4th of July week, and this is what you get with the leftovers.
