Around midnight and 1 a.m. Nov. 16, an explosive device was detonated in the alley between Cape May and Brighton east of Abbott .
No one was hurt but a truck sustained damage. The San Diego City Metro Bomb Squad was on scene gathering evidence and conducting an investigation.
Come inside and see the video by Charles Landon who interviews some witnesses to the sound of the explosion and the fireball.
Here’s a report on it from Fox5 San Diego:
The San Diego Metro Arson Strike Team (MAST) was in Ocean Beach on Monday to investigate a suspicious incident that may have occurred Sunday night.
According to San Diego police, neighbors reported hearing a bang and seeing a flash in the alley between Brighton and Cape May avenues on Sunday night.
When authorities arrived at the 5000 block of Brighton Avenue, they noticed burn marks in the alley and damage to a vehicle. Shrapnel was also seen spread throughout the area.
MAST is a specialized team comprised of members from San Diego Fire-Rescue and the San Diego Police Department that responds to major fires, arson, serious injury or death and found or suspected bombs and hoax devices.
Wow…. She’s on a good one. Spaced out.
Unrelated to the actual story: the yellow house shown in the photo reminds me of the “Trolley Car House” in Mission Beach at Venice Ct. and Mission Blvd., 700-block.
The yellow house is behind & perpendicular to two other houses (2075 & 2079 Abbot St.) that also look like they may be repurposed SD trolley cars.
