"At least six homes in the neighborhood suffered minor damage as a result."

Fireworks? What the heck did he have AT4's?

If you've ever blown the doors off your $35,000 truck with $500 worth of fireworks....You might be a redneck.

I imagine that with the upcoming 4th of July fireworks, that the 'bomb detection devices' and bomb sniffing dogs will get quite a workout from residual 'hits' for the next few weeks...

"Honey, run to the store and get a assload of fireworks for the 4th of July. And take the gas can and fill it. And get us some Marlboros"

which is registered to a construction company.

I just caught that. I have heard from a friend of a friend that sometimes construction workers will snag a stick or two of dynamite to help celebrate Independence Day. Wonder if ole Gary had a stick or two in the cab under the seat when a roman candle went off and touched off the #7 squib?

This has (lucky to be alive) good-ole-boy written all over it.

Officers want to know Zdan's relationship to the truck

Explosive, to say the least.

And did this relationship involve an Astroturf-lined cab?

Been there, done that.
Had some friends do the same thing except they were IN the car when it happened.
They were driving around with a case of cherry bombs and firecrackers between the driver and his girlfriend.
A friend in the back seat was lighting and tossing out firecrackers until one hit the headliner and landed right on the whole package.
The explosion blew all the car windows out and broke store windows.
They got messed up pretty bad but lived. One was deaf in one ear after the incident.
Funny part was it happened right by our house.

Most fireworks are illegal in Nebraska. Because they're dangerous. So people smuggle them in from Missouri. And blow up their trucks in the process.

Notice that this guy is from Council Bluffs. Think "Deliverance" without the banjo music.

"Officers want to know Zdan's relationship to the truck, which is registered to a construction company.

Wonder if this guy had oxy/acetylene ballons in the cab with him?

What a dumba$$.

That don't look like no fireworks I ever saw.

These trucks use a saddle gas tank, and the roof was sheared off by a few fireworks?

I don't think so..

(wish there was a pic of the drivers side.. that might tell allot)

I'd think ex-employee.
