The United States Army wants to apologize to Flint residents for attempting to blow up the city while they were least expecting it.

Reports indicate that the Pentagon is attempting to explain to the people our fair city the reason for a series of explosions that were set off earlier this week at a nearby school.

Although it may have felt like the city was about to be swallowed up by an earthquake, officials says the explosions were actually part of a training exercise being held in several abandoned buildings.

“Things got pushed up a little sooner than we wanted to,” said Jason Lorenz, a local Army representative. “But in the future, people will know if something is going to be taking place in their area.”

Although officials are not willing to discuss the details of this training, it has been confirmed that the Army is working with the Flint police -- reportedly for security purposes.

But what is the purpose of this training? Perhaps it was simply an obstacle exercise like the one in the following video:
