Fireworks? I guess that's one way of putting it.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

More than likely those fireworks looked like this maybe?

I doubt they were carrying military explosives illegally, huge fines or imprisonment for that, and not much access to non-military personnel now.
I've seen reports of similar incidents in Hong Kong, China and India, no safety regulations, big mistake.

Don't forget the guys in the back of the pickup smoking.

Anybody else remember the guys in the missile truck checking the petrol level with a lighter in Takhmao one night?

Throw some gunpowder and some petrol into the back of a pickup. Add a couple of guys smoking for good measure. Give the whole load a good shaking on a Cambodian road.Police have reported that there were three motorbikes and explosive fireworks stuffed at the back of pickup truck.
What would you expect to happen next ?

Looking at the truck remains there could not be any survivors . Would have been same as a car bomb in a war zone.
