Seems like an odd place to bomb if you ask me. Unless they were just parked there waiting to go to some other place.

I was wondering about that too. A big, underground parking lot would be a good place to leave a truck until you're ready to go out on The Mission.

Well I don't know if it was a bomb, but after 9/11 you have an awful lot of people who would probably not like to have to continue working in high rise buildings (I hear that the Empire State building has some tenants planning on leaving).

Destroy one popular mall and kill a lot of people, and you'd have a lot of Americans not going to any malls, for at least a while.

I hope this was not a bombing attempt. I have seen so many deliveries to restaurants from rental trucks, usually boxes of produce and bags of flour but many times drums of powders and liquids (though not 55 gal drums too many times).

There is a large Asian population south of Boston, and it seems like one out of ten of their homes has a Van with some noodle company name on the side and the van is full of boxes. The deliveries to the many small Chinese takeout restaurants are made by all sorts of station wagons, vans amd box trucks, some marked with a business name and some Uhaul or Ryder rental types. This van in the mall could have been one of these type delivery vans...or it could hold a bomb.
