How ‘safe’ plan to fire munitions over I-5 went off the rails

An artillery round exploded over Interstate 5 at Camp Pendleton, cutting short the military's live-fire exercise.

Los Angeles Times

Wow, they almost hit the VP. (or at least, the CHP detail assigned to him).

(I guess friendly fire as in unintentional, vs. fragged which is intenational)

Looks like CHP is checking for debris from what must have been a bunch of detonations/etc. at Pendleton. 10/18/25 1416PT #Pendleton #I5Closure #shutdown #traffic #SanDiego

5 Fwy to shut down due to event involving live ammunition at Camp Pendleton, CHP says

A 17-mile stretch of the 5 Freeway will be shut down Saturday because of a military event involving live ammunition at Camp Pendleton.

Apparently "Marine Corp Vehicles Approaching Rest Area Now" (as of 1:15pm PT) - they stopped all traffic at 12:36pm again.

Looks like quite a confusion about what is or isn't closing (per CHP log) now on the I-5....

Sounds like they are going to run a traffic break INSTEAD of closing the freeway.

"Oct 18 2025 11:51AM [2] 113-C THE FULL FWY CLOSURE WILL BE LIFTED ON BOTH NB/SB SIDES OF THE 5 FWY - OCEANSIDE WILL HANDLE BRKS WHEN DEMONSTRATION OCCURS - ALL CAPO UNITS COPY"
