FOX five local Las Vegas is indicating the rain fireworks inside the truck unknown if it was intentionally set or off or not. I look at some of the video and it does look like that.

Excellent hotel. Stayed there many times. I also saw fireworks mentioned in one report. Prayers to those injured. The Valet guys at that hotel do an outstanding job. There’s always many of them at that exact area.

Fireworks for sure...

Looks like a fucking bomb to me.
Put enough fireworks together and that’s what you have. No way to tracing buying explosives when buying fireworks.

I’ve seen plenty of them catch fire, and that’s not how it happens in my experience.
There appears to be smoke coming from driver’s side wheel wells just before it explodes? Something similar happened years ago in LHC, as the guys were driving N on 95 with a bunch of legal fireworks they’d purchased at the Pyro Event at Sara Park. They may have turned and jumped before it blew?

Anyone have TURO? Maybe look up to see if it was rented by Akbar Fanoonie.

Maybe eh..? I’m not a fireman (thank god) so I lack the terminology….But I’ve seen plenty “start” catching fire but I’ve never seen a LiPo flat out fucking EXPLODE like that.

I was referring to the TMZ video, likely from a hotel security cam. There appeared to be smoke prior to the explosion.

With people out walking their suitcases it kinda looks like late checkout times were canceled 😞
By the Sheriff's report, other than the drivers death the other 7 were "minor" injuries. To me that dictates either shitty execution of terrorism or a unintentional terrible accident, whatever the cause.

When you look at the Instagram vid, you can clearly see the fireworks explode out of the trunk/bed, and smoke pouring out of the wheel wells.

Looks like somebody stocked up, and they caught on fire and went boom.

IF the news story is true, that the driver died...

It doesn't seem like this was a terrorist deal.

Time will tell I suppose.

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up knowing as much about this as we do about the route 91 shooter

Put me down for the Suiside bomber theory. Elon Musk's Cybertruck explodes at the front doors to the Trump Hotel? C'mon..
I agree but:
The head scratcher is trying to blow up the hotel with piccolo Pete’s and M80’s.
I realize the terrorists moms and dads are also brother and sister,, leads to genetic mental distress,, but,,,

Not sure why it’s a head scratcher. Look at the damage done in LA. When the shit was even in a truck designed to take the explosion. 🤷

The fact that the fireworks were contained inside that truck is the reason why it was so damaging, this guy may not have understood that if that was his intention

Maybe not. Or maybe they’ve learned. Hey. Look at the damage we can do with simple foreworks 🤷

My in laws were going to stay at Trump Hotel in Vegas tomorrow but they just cancelled. I don’t blame them.
Understand. But, if they get the chance, it’s a great place to stay. We really like it. Have spoken at length with a few employees. They love working there.
