No harm: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearm has confirmed that the Los Angeles Police Department is responsible for this. big Bang because it exploded many fire extinguishers at one time.
On June 30, members of the LAPD bombing group were throwing away 5,000 pounds of firefighters seized in South Los Angeles. Something went wrong when they tried to deliver several “coke can-size” weapons with powder and fuses, and the explosion caused a section to rotate. Attempts to evict them resulted in at least 17 injuries, the destruction of many homes and vehicles, and the relocation of about 75 people due to damage to property. At least two they have been dead, one is an elderly man who died after moving to a motel and the other is a man whose roof collapsed while he was asleep. Locals are skeptical that the death was linked.
Police initially confirmed the incident was a “perpetual explosion,” that they do not know what is wrong, and only 10 pounds of explosives was blown up. It was about 40 pounds, beyond the amount of waste that can be properly disposed of. According to Los Angeles Times, ATF Special Assistant Superintendent Michael Hoffman told people at a closing meeting Monday night that the blast was caused by LAPD upgrading the device which is designed to make certain items more efficient.
The tragedy “occurred as a result of overloading of [total containment vessel] with more explosions than the TCV produced, “Hoffman said at the conference, which is limited to the general public.” That’s what caused the failure. “
ATF is “definitely” in the end, he added.

The Times reported that Hoffman told attendees that ATF had eliminated other possible causes, such as damage to the vessel, and poor operation of its doors. He also claimed that TCV was designed to duplicate approximately 19 pounds of TNT, or 33 pounds of bomb at a time (later had to be returned to the manufacturer for review). LAPD bombers blew up 39.8 pounds at a time. The names of the supervisors involved have not been released.
According to the Times, LAPD Director Michel Moore also added at the conference that bomb experts have fired bombs instead of harassing them to gain weight with scales. The number of people involved is not a member and does not return. (Obviously, there is there is no reason to believe the police will not take their lack of expertise to another town.) Moore added that all other protocols were followed correctly, except for those that caused the LAPD to detonate a bomb in the area. He also called on door-to-door police to provide evacuation notices, which locals disputed, saying they had been given adequate warning or mixed messages before they arrived.
The LAPD is now making changes to include non-TCV explosive devices, which require that the explosive device be tested, and “checks and scales” to ensure that this is done, Moore wrote, The Times wrote.
“As experts trained in one of America’s largest police departments, I had no idea how LAPD thought it was acceptable to have a bomb in the middle of the crowd,” City Councilor Curren Price told the paper in a statement. Monday evening.
Lawyers representing local people are included filed a number of lawsuits because physical injury and property damage against the city of Los Angeles and the LAPD, in reference to the negligence that occurs. A South Los Angeles man, 26-year-old Arturo Ceja III, has pleaded guilty legally carrying fireworks who went up in the blast.
