At least 17 people were injured Wednesday evening in Los Angeles after an explosion occurred inside a police bomb squad disposal truck, officials said.
"This vessel should have been able to dispose of this material," Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said at a news conference. "Something happened in that containment vehicle that should not have happened and we do not know why."
Earlier in the day, the LAPD received a call about illegal fireworks, Moore said. When officers arrived at the residence, they found commercial-grade fireworks stacked approximately 8-10 feet high. They also found improvised explosives, he said.
The explosion occurred as officers intentionally detonated the improvised devices in the truck, Moore said.
One person was arrested and charged with possession of a destructive device, the chief said. The illegal fireworks came from out of state and were intended for sale around the Fourth of July holiday, he added.

Of the 17 people injured, 10 were responding officers and seven were civilians, Moore said.

The police chief did not describe the condition of the injured.
In an earlier statement, the Los Angeles Fire Department said 16 people were injured, including nine members of the LAPD. It described the officers as "in fair condition with minor injuries." One member of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) had minor injuries.
Of the six civilians, the LAFD said three sustained serious injuries and the other three had minor injuries.
Several structures sustained varying levels of damage from the blast, the LAFD said. Multiple cars were damaged by flying debris.
Mayor Eric Garcetti has said there would be a full investigation.
"Illegal fireworks pose a great danger and can cost lives. We will prosecute those who use or possess them to the fullest extent of the law," he said in a statement.

Article I saw said they put 10 pounds of the hom stuff in the vessel

im guessing the home made stuff was a lot more powerful than they thought

My feeling is that it was a terrorist organization and in this woke age the lapd doesn’t wanna say it was terrorists .
they are saying it was fireworks.
 
I can't believe they thought it was a good idea to blow that stuff up right in the middle of a neighborhood, regardless if the "vessel" could handle it or not.

Looks to me like someone was trying to swing their pee-pee around and it got slapped down right quick.

Yup. Buncha fucking morons!
 
Fucking dumbfucks, did they at least take some pigs out so this wasn't a total disaster?
 
I'd love to be the defense attorney for the guy they stole that shit from.


That shit didn't explode on his watch, go ahead and try some "unsafe" or "public danger" shit:laughing:
