Our asshat of a neighbor had another fireworks drunk fest this year. They light off fireworks for over 3 hours constantly.
A few years back he was crying the blues about almost losing his house because of the divorce and goes out to buy $3-$4K of fireworks. Each year has gotten progressively worse and is very aggravating with the pets. I dropped a bunch of wrappers, sticks and other trash off at his doorstep this morning with a not so polite note.

Packing it full & then wondering why it couldn't contain the blast


Now their bomb truck is blown up, several people are injured (including some ATF asshole), housing, cars, and other property damaged. Big bill will be coming soon for the city of LA. They can't help but **** up even when trying to do the right thing.

Saw one brief report that the door to the chamber was found on a roof a quarter of a mile away. They said it weighed over 1000 pounds. That left a mark....

They need a serious emergency review of their bomb squad equipment and procedures, yikes!
