I saw that on the news. I think there was a slight miscalculation there. Destroyed that semi. There's another video from the ground looking at the front of the truck

I'm calling 100% bullshit. That is not what a detonation truck looks like...not any I have ever seen.
Google Bomb detonation chamber and select images. https://www.google.com/search?q=Bomb...D_enUS907US907 They stuck that shit in a plain Jane trailer. |

My guess is that they were hauling confiscated stuff away for a planned detonation in a pit somewhere. They do this every year in CA and blow up a few mannequins for effect. |

Some asshole in the hood next to me started shooting fireworks at about 11:30 last night.
They stopped at midnight...and then started again at 3:45 this morning for about 20 minutes. FKRS ! |

You know the thing is the high quality fireworks are expensive AF, someone is dropping some serious coin to pop that shit off. I’m happy lighting a couple of strings of lady fingers.

I'm guessing someone stuck their stimulus money under the mattress until fireworks stands opened.

We (neighbors and I) spent 4K on fireworks. One of the neighbors does the pyrotechnics for the big concerts and is able to buy wholesale. We should have a good show this year.

I'm betting no rocket scientists were injured. The objective should not be to try and contain an explosion. Leave the top open to redirect the force upward
It's been nice and quiet around here since fireworks were legalized. |

Logical conclusion but mistaken. Just saw video of a female wiring it for detonation

I was very wrong about the containment trailer. It actually is exactly like the ones I posted pictures of. They just have a square cube around it with sheet metal sides that made it difficult to see the containment ball. I came across a video that shows it much clearer.
Cliffs: I was wrong. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/raw...rks-explosion/ |

So, why in the actual F do you do this in a neighborhood???? I care less now about the engineering of the enclosure and the execution of the operation than I do about who makes a decision to not just tow this for a couple hours to the desert and make a big bang. Stupid F'ing F's.
