Watching the local news here in Chicago, and they just showed a clip of a press conference with the Vegas police department. At the press conference, they showed a picture of the back of the truck (after the fire was put out), which the speaker from the Las Vegas police said was filled with “gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters, and large firework mortars.”

Sounding less and less like an accident.
