BREAKING:Explosion At Boston Marathon

That seems like a stretch.

That was episode 203. 203 is the area code for Newtown I believe? Was this (the finish line section) refered to as "The Newtown Mile" or was that more media BS?

Another stretch.

They said they found pieces of pressure cookers.

I have no idea how they could ascertain that.

Also, how did they know the bags were black? Would there be enough of the bag left after the explosion to know that?

More answers means more questions.

The black duffel bags were perhaps on film or CCTV and the obvious source of explosion. The valves / timers / double walled insulation / label fragments on metal / bakelite type material etc could all point towards the device being placed inside a pressure cooker.

If these are facts, forensics are trained in knowing types and evidence for incendiary devices and would know the type of explosion, debris and evidence for this type of device.

Well they did find and dismantel a third bomb...correct?

No there was some really lazy reporting yesterday there were only 2.

Thanks...I just went and verified as well.

Seems like there was a "suspected" bomb in another garbage can and it turned out not to be a bomb.

Read this fellas..Family Guy episode called Turban Cowboy had references in it about bombs at the Boston Marathon.Had a muslim characther on the show.

I can see that, you wouldn't wan a stray radio signal to deonate an explosive early.

It seems to me that whomever built these bombs knew what they were doing -- ie; had training. Ex military? A foreign resistance fighter we trained?

The placement and timing of the two bombs that went off tells me this was a very carefully planed and executed operation. Did anyone else notice that the first bomb blew up closer to the finish line, forcing people right into the blast zone of the second. The timing was a little bit more than 10 seconds, just enough time for people running away from the first explosion to get hit by the second. This was done by someone that knew how to inflict maximum damage.

A lone "crazy person" with an internet connection theoretically COULD learn and pull something like this off, but it's much more logical that someone with a military, law enforcement, or insurgency background planned and pulled this off.

If someone were going to do a radio detonation, they could rig the reciever to only detonate after it recieves a certain tone or series of tones on a scrambled secure channel. I realize this would be very sophisticated, but it could be done.

My question is who is going to get blamed for it. North Korea, Iran, Russia, FBI for arresting bankers?

Time to ban bom$s, oh wait, they already are. Ban guns, yea, that's it.

Nahh, the logic seems to go "If everyone had a bomb this wouldn't happen."

Rite?

um...no...

that's not logic, that's stupid..

The million dollar questions that none of us have answers to at the moment.

I cant find any info and if someone has already shared this info i didnt see it. Have they identifiyd the other two victems of this? I know about the little 8 year old boy but i havent heard anything about the other 2 deaths? Is there a reason for this?

This is dangerous..They arrested the man in Egypt who made the movie that offended the crazy radical muslims and now this might be and I believe it is a motive and set up to not offend muslims in the world and they will use it with this Family Guy episode.Evil of the worst kind.

Report on pressure cooker devices here



hosted.ap.org...

These types of pressure cooker explosives have been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan, according to a July 2010 joint FBI and Homeland Security intelligence report. One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the intelligence report said

Wow! This thread has gotten really big since yesterday, I have some catching up to do.

My heart goes out to all the people who were hurt or died, this is truly tragic. Thank you for everyone who has been participating in this thread and keeping ATS members informed!

I saw the pic you posted quickly before you removed it. Definitely odd that the two different pics seem to have been taken a few moments apart but the man with the leg injury is absent from one of them.

If the explosive ingredient was gun powder I am telling you it would take a significant amount to fill a 6 liter pressure cooker. and that will leave tracks that can be followed.

Same if it was something else.

I think out of everyone in that photo he looked like the first person that would have been rushed off for medical attention. I'm pretty sure he is the same guy that's photoed been wheeled off in another photo

reply to post by kamatty


I noticed in one photo it looked like he had a leg and they were holding a rag on it but in another "exact" photo it showed a bone hanging instead of a leg. Mabey they photoshoped the bone out do to the gross nature and didnt want to shock people

Fellas tellin ya the Family Guy episode was probably the motivation to why a radical muslim did this.Got the idea from this show is my guess.

My Dad and I shoot professional fireworks.

We're leaning towards Flash Powder as the compound that was used in the devices. We can tell by the color of the smoke and other identifiers.

The ingredients are easy enough to come by. This is some pretty scary stuff!

NBC News is reporting that:

Law enforcement officials told NBC News that authorities questioned a 20-year-old man who is in the United States on a valid student visa. He was seen running from the blast area, had burns and was interviewed in a Boston hospital. But an official told NBC News that interest in the man was fading. It was his apartment building, in the Boston suburb of Revere, that police and federal agents searched overnight.

usnews.nbcnews.com...
So, doesn't look the Saudi student was the guy. Kind of didn't think so because you'd think that, if he was, he would've either a. obliterated himself with the bomb or b. been far enough away to be uninjured. Not something in between.

The pressure cooker bomb's origination of use doesn't really mean anything as, once it's been made enough, it could be duplicated by anyone. Such bombs have been found in Nepal, India, and other places apparently. This one went off in Athens, Greece a couple months ago in a shopping mall no less. Only 2 were injured though because it was spotted and the mall evacuated: greece.greekreporter.com...
Kind of says that how to make these is probably somewhere on the net. I'd check to see if that's the case but I really don't want the feds knocking on my door.
