LAPD's Attempt To Safely Detonate Huge Cache Of Fireworks Goes South Quickly In Viral Videos
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) attempted to dispose of 5,000 lbs. of illegal fireworks in the middle of a residential area in South Central Los Angeles, California.
The LAPD tried to intentionally detonate the fireworks cache inside of a truck meant to contain the blast. But when they lit the explosives, the containment vessel failed and resulted in the injury of 10 police officers and 7 bystanders, 6 of whom were taken to the hospital.
South Central LA was rocked by the blast, with some people saying the explosion felt like a "hard earthquake."

To make matters worse, the LAPD on its official Twitter said it was "unknown" what caused the explosion, either unaware or denying the involvement of its own department.

@LAPDHQ Maybe someone should question your detective who said "they'll be blown up here on scene" https://t.co/g5CXwlMYs8— Alissa Walker (@Alissa Walker) 1625115578.0
If this was the LAPD's plan to instill confidence in the police back into the community, it blew up in their face.
Literally.
