Police in Nebraska are investigating after a group detonated an explosive inside a car parked in a crowded parking lot.
The huge explosion caused damage to nearby businesses and left a chaotic scene littered with debris according to a report.
Now authorities are using a video that shows the moment enormous clouds of smoke were sent soaring into the air and a motor was left on fire on the premises of ALLways Towing Inc.
The clip was shared by the owner of the company, Jeremie Garrison, who titled it on YouTube 'SICK EXPLOSION!?! (Did someone get hurt?)' with the caption 'Explosion/Car/Lol/Fireworks/Fire/...'
Lincoln Police on Tuesday was investigating the incident at ALLways Towing Inc. where an explosive was detonated inside a car
Several men are heard and seen hiding behind other vehicles for shelter as the explosive is detonated.
The person filming the action yells and screams with exhilaration as the group laughs at what just left the car looking mangled and in flames. 'Holy s**t!' one exclaims.
A man is seen laughing with a cigarette in hand as the explosive is detonated.
The June 30 clip which features the amateur videographer continuously laughing had garnered almost 60,000 views by Thursday but now Garrison could be in hot water with law enforcement.

Garrison owns the place at 5657 N 57th Street with his wife Krislin. The company has been featured in newspapers for their work helping to tow cars out of hazardous weather conditions in Nebraska, especially last January in a snowstorm.
As the video went viral, the incident was reported to Lincoln Police on Tuesday.
KLKNTV reported that the owner told them in a phone call he 'thought the device was a smoke bomb and had no idea it was as powerful as it was'.
Garrison declined to comment further pending investigation.
Fire inspectors are expected to review if any citations will be issued. Garrison has almost lost his business in the past after years of taking drugs at his workplace.

After battling an addiction to meth, Garrison has become known for helping those less fortunate in his community. He recently gifted a student in need a car.
The 39-year-old started his business 15 years ago with one truck and 10 drivers working long hours.
He told the Journal Star the addiction lasted eight years, during which time he was pushing his wife around and he has almost been sober a year.
The father-of-three told the publication in May that when he would get drunk he would be 'running around the parking lot with my pants off, saying "Look at me! I’m naked! I’m going to beat you up!"'
He's open about going to rehab in South Dakota in August 2018 after his wife left him and took their two children together.
Garrison said he went after to the mechanics and body shops he had worked with in the past to apologized for his bad behavior once he got sober.
In another video from last month he gives a boy a scooter as a thank you after he apologized for accidentally kicking a ball into his truck.
But he's seen less favorably in a 'Wheelchair Conversion' clip from two years ago, captioned 'Barber chair on steroids' where he mocks people with special needs.
