Las Vegas Sheriff: Tesla Cybertruck Directed Blast Upwards Which Prevented More Damage

McMAHILL: “The individual that was in that truck is obviously deceased. Still in the truck, as we speak here today, are fire department folks and Engine 12, a number of others, you’ll hear from one of the fire chiefs in just a moment, arrived very quickly along with my officers, and obviously we knew that we had a much larger event than just a vehicle fire. So, there is going to be a drone video that plays to my left. Again, you’ll see the fire initially, they covered it with a tarp to try to get it to go out. Once the fire went out through the suppression efforts of the fire department, you’ll see some of the evidence in the back of the vehicle. So, those are gasoline canisters. They are camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars. I also would like you to pay attention to, on that video, as you see that, it looks like the exterior of that truck is completely intact as it sits there. The fact that this was a Cybertruck really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet, because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out. In fact, if you look on that video you’ll see that the front glass doors at the Trump Hotel were not even broken by that blast, which they were parked directly in front of. You can see that in the video there.”
