LAPD bomb squad truck explodes during fireworks detonation, injuring 17 – By Kenneth Garger (NY Post) / July 1 2021
Over a dozen people were hurt when an LAPD bomb squad truck was blown to smithereens during a planned detonation of illegal fireworks on Wednesday night.
The enormous blast came after authorities confiscated over 5,000 pounds of illegal fireworks from a South Los Angeles home. One person was arrested, according to CBSLA and the LAPD.
In addition to the injuries, the explosion also wrecked nearby cars and damaged homes.
Seconds before things went haywire, officers on the ground quickly backed away from the squad trailer. According to CBSLA, the officer then screamed, “Fire in the hole!”
