I read an article elsewhere that the damage to the truck was caught by only 10 pounds of explosives! So much for the truck being designed to contain explosions!

 

[Rich M]

It’s amazing no one was killed.

The lid was 2 blocks down the street from what I read! 10 pounds did that?! Low bid design at work.

 

[Bulldog]

Low bid design at work.

They couldn't spend much on the explosive containment part of the truck, they blew the entire budget on the cab and paint job!

Doh . . . Ya think?????

L.A. officers who caused giant blast with fireworks likely made 'significant miscalculation'

The blast in a neighborhood injured 17 people — including nine officers and a federal agent.

The 'experts" in the hood would never have made this type of miscalculation. And if they did, it would have described in a manner not fit for the
kids.
So, who got the RIP?

 

[Extra One & One]

I don’t know, I wasn’t there so I won’t comment. What I will say is there were times over my career where myself or another member made a mistake which could have been serious, but we skated. They’re just human like the rest of us.

 

[entropychaser]

We have all been there. The problem is this was well past "could have been serious", the City of LA totally owns it, and now has admitted liability. I don't think a butt chewing in the office is gonna be enough. My experience with explosions is; I didn't know this many lawyers existed.
