Toledo Neighborhood Gets Wild Fireworks Show When U-Haul Truck Blows Up

Three people were reportedly injured Sunday night when a U-Haul truck carrying fireworks exploded, according to media reports out of Toledo, Ohio where one east side street looked like it had been transformed into Mosul, Iraq.

There are electric fireworks shows and then there's the beginning of this video obtained by CBS-affiliate WTOL. Listen closely as at least one woman cheers after the initial barrage finishes, but the show isn't over. It's just getting started.

"We need a hose!" another lady can be heard yelling.

Good luck making it through all 14 minutes without losing brain cells from this one:










Police told the Toledo Blade that a large block party was planned where the U-Haul exploded. “Something caught it on fire, and that part is still under investigation,” a spokesperson told the newspaper. “...It was a pretty violent explosion that continued.”
