Well that escalated quickly !

LAPD, removed 5,000 pounds of illegal fireworks from a home ,along with “ Ten pounds of ,improvised explosives.”  They detonated that on scene in their containment vessel , which could easily and safely explode 15 pounds ....

Damaged homes and flipped cars in a two block radius ! Not my field ,but I’d guess it wasn’t  10 pounds of what they thought it was .

I wonder if they said “ hold my beer ! “
with that I’m off to buy ammo and primers .

I saw that. Have to assume someone is going to be hung out to dry; people cannot be happy with the "we got it covered" mentality when in reality it was not covered at all. 

I bet that bang was impressive though, lol

EDIT* The roof of the containment vehicle....was found TWO BLOCKS AWAY!

Defund Fireworks !

They blew up “ improvised devices “ 40 coke can sizes ones. Ok how do 40 of those weigh only ten pounds ? 
 

Perhaps add math questions to get on the “ bomb squad “

I'm sorry that people were injured and thankful no one was killed. But just have to say that was the funniest f up I've seen in years.

I think that's what kids call a "fail" these days. EPIC fail lol.

Newsom claims it was climate change that caused it.

I wonder if this was the bomb squad equivalent of......

"here, hold my beer"????
