I think it suffices. It'd be silly to disqualify it as it is now, but to consider it a documentary if a narrator mentioned some blatantly obvious things throughout the footage.

Granted they could have just called it 'news footage montage' and it'd be a clearer description (but less impressive).

I think that's overcomplicating it. A regular person would generally assume a fancy bomb disposal truck like that would easily be able to handle 'a bunch of fireworks'. I reckon these officers had the same mindset, even though they're supposed to know what they're doing.

It's not obvious they didn't transport it because they thought it was unsafe to do so. The more obvious explanation is that they thought it'd be harmless, which is why they also endangered themselves along with everyone else.
