And that may be the sorriest sorry ever - but the Commissioner tried to put a kind spin on the mixup:
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"And having done more in-depth analysis, it turned out that it was not, as was previously reported, some high explosive use to do quarry, but rather just a flare or something of that sort. But again, I also learned that the device could not have gone off on its own. It needed additional features in order for it to have been ignited."
Jules Vasquez
"Are you looking at the osocity angle? I know you regularly attend these shows. And you would have seen the cold flares being used on stage, which may resemble a device like this. Might that have been how this something called a pyrotechnic cold flare ended up on a plane?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"That could be. And it's one of the angles that we're looking at. Because in deed like you right said, it's the type of thing that you normally see when they have concert that they would lit in front of the performers and so forth."
