He described what happened to the truck as a "total catastrophic failure" and indicated the vehicle should have successfully absorbed the blast force. “Tonight, every effort of the men and women of the Los Angeles Police Department, joined by LA Fire and ATF during the course of today, was to render this situation safe, and clearly protocols were followed and pursued, but something happened in that containment vehicle that should not have happened, and we don’t know why," Moore said. Moore did not reference an intentional demolition when speaking to reporters, though he said "something happened" that "should not have happened" after a number of improvised explosives were found among the 5,000 pounds of fireworks. LAPD Chief Michael Moore said during a press conference Wednesday night that residents were evacuated prior to the blast, though some remained in their homes against the commands of fire authorities.
