    Why didn't they call in explosive experts? I don't think this was the best way to handle this.

    They blew up her house? I hope she has somewhere else to live.

    Just so people know. The dynamite was handed down through several generations. The newest inheritor saw the dynamite and she called 911. The police, the fire department and the bomb squad all showed up. The dynamite was leaking, crystalizing and extremely unstable. If they tried to move it, it could have exploded and set off the other dynamite that was in the house, and it could also have killed people. They evacuated the houses surrounding the houses and then set it off. They probably did it that time of the morning so there would not be people about that could possibly get hurt.

    You guys need a new cameraman. The random shots of sidewalk and puddles aren't cutting it.
  • any idea if there is some sort of go fund me to help the resident whose house they blew up?
  • @dbabakh8911
    The blast displaced a family and killed their pets. Your reporting sucks
  • Old dynamite turns into nitroglycerin. Haven't you all ever watched a Western?

    Old doom preppers never die, they just leave old dynamite to their descendants as an exp!osive legacy. Looney tunes.
  • To anyone who thinks this is “normal” a elderly lady was in the home that they detonated
