Explosion inside LA police bomb disposal truck after illegal fireworks seized injures 17
"We are experts. We deal with illegal explosives on a daily basis. Obviously something went wrong." LAPD Lt. Raul Jovel
As far back as I can remember, we in California have watched those same boring public service TV commercials that warn if someone tries to celebrate our nation's birth by lighting-off anything more powerful than pathetic "safe and sane" fireworks, their hands will end-up looking mangled-- like NFL star Jason-Pierre Paul's. Last night in south-central L.A. officials inadvertently got a way better TV commercial.
The highly-vaunted LAPD bomb disposal truck is-- or was before it was disintegrated and demolished in a massive fireball-- built of space-age, super-secret material that was reverse-engineered in Area 51 from extra-terrestrial fragments captured from the Roswell UFO crash in 1947. The thing was advertised as being invulnerable to anything the bomb squad could possibly find in a run-down house in the inner city. And that includes 5,000 pounds of boxes innocuously marked Sky Candy Fireworks: Made in China.
Apparently not.
