From what I recall, they were prohibited by the county from doing any controlled detonations at all and had to find a new location. I don't know what situations would have be an exception to the rule but people were PISSED.
Another TLDR: I also had a coworker that used to be EOD and got a yield/distance calculation wrong during a fairly large demonstration for some of their brass. Blew out the windows of several of their government vehicles. Oopsies. Got sent to a flight crew after that.
Apparently common sense conflicts with the 8 year old boy in us all when it comes to explosives.
