Or get people as they leave the area, creating a panic.

It’s not a gas main, the police are finding other bombs placed around at the scene of the Marathon. Just think about this. The Boston Marathon is an American icon, strictly American. This definitely was the work of anti-American terrorists.

I had just barely opened my eyes when I saw this. Glass of wine, hell. Get drunk!
Prayers upon prayers for Boston!

“Does anyone know whether or not a cellphone-triggered bomb can be ‘jammed’ with signal noise? Interested to know.. These could be cellphone-detonated devices.”

Yes, that is how our armed forces stopped the IEDs in Iraq, until someone spilled the beans and the bad guys switched tactics. Jammers only affect receivers, cell phone or anything else can be jammed.

"Have they ruled out a “dirty” radiological bomb? I assume they would have tested for that first thing and would be evacuating a larger area? "

Hopefully this is checked withing 30 minutes, if not, Big Sis should resign ASAP.

Could be; just doesn’t sound like their sabre-rattling MO, of past years. Sounds more like muzzies or palis.

I saw an earlier pic of 4 medicas carrying a guy in a wheelchair with both feet blown-off; just bones and blood sticking-out from the bandages and tourniquets. They haven’t re-shown the pic.

“I don’t live in a reality where the US Fed Gov’t is the originating cause for every single bad thing that happens.”

I haven’t seen anyone at all, even here, say that, yet for the eight years of the Bush administration, that was exactly the case made by ABCCBSCNNNBC/AP and everyone who wasn’t a conservative.

South of the Border off I95 in the Carolinas IIRC.

Couldn’t resist. It used to be a fireworks supermarket and amusement park. Roadside America..it was great. Probably gone now.

This was more than a mere ‘Tax Day Attack’, perhaps ‘Patriots Day Attack’ AGAINST Patriots. NK, perhaps.. Muzzies.. ‘Left wing extremists’.. ‘Weather underground Anti-Patriots Day’ attack.

Somebody’s leg flew by my head, said a spectator who gave his name as John Ross. “I gave my belt to stop the blood.”

People were yelling, “I need my kids!”

“It was horrific!” said a man who gave his name as Brian Walker. “I saw some horrific wounds. You could literally feel the rush of wind.”

MSNBC showing the bloody area from a roof across the street. A bit excessive if you ask me.
