Cant recall exact URL, but was an article from some trade website explaining things. Apparently local EMS' got dozens of calls per day as well. That's what convinced me.

After I read your comment I went back and payed more attention.... you are right. There is a sharp "crack" followed shortly thereafter by a "boom". I too am curious to know the reason. If you ever get an explanation, please let me know?

nobody has been able to succinctly explain why there are 2 audibly separate explosions. i say the first was taped real, the second was fake. i do like to crank the speakers up on it though
