HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

ALERT ALERT - BOSTON Area.

I do know for a fact that the town of Randolph has a significanat Pakistani population, consisting of hardliners and nurtured by a hardline mosque in the area.

This MO is similar to that of the Madrid Cells. Find an unwitting accomplice.......

Cache of explosives detonated in Randolph

By Lauren Daley, Enterprise special correspondent
RANDOLPH— The discovery of explosives in the Stacy Street home of an 84-year-old man prompted the evacuation of about 60 nearby residents Wednesday night.

Authorities detonated the explosives, including ammunition and devices used by railroads, at around 10 p.m., about 3 1/3 hours after the man's family discovered the items in his bedroom and called 911.

Fire Capt. Albert J. Karsay said investigators are now trying to learn why the items were in the house and for how long.

"We have no idea," Karsay said. "It is still under investigation."

Randolph Fire Chief Charles Foley said the granddaughter of the elderly man at 46 Stacy St. called 911 at 6:24 p.m. to report finding the items. The man was hospitalized at the time, he said.

The man was identified by neighbors and through the street listing as Leo Lucente.

Foley said it was unclear what — if any — charges might be lodged.

Karsay said the woman found the explosives in the bedroom, put them in a box and carried them outside to the back yard.

"None of it was labeled but it looked hazardous to her," he said. "That's why she called 911."

After officials arrived and evaluated the situation, between 18 to 20 homes on Stacy Street and four on nearby Jane Street were evacuated, he said.

Stacy and June streets are densely settled residential neighborhoods of mostly ranch and Cape-style homes between High and North Main streets in the north end of town.

"It is a post-World War II neighborhood," Karsay said.

Thelma Cabral, a neighbor, said residents were stunned when they were told to leave. "We were very surprised," she said. "We couldn't believe it."

She said Lucente, hospitalized since Sunday, is a nice man who often walks through the neighborhood. She said she didn't know where he had worked before retiring.

Foley described the items as "incendiary devices, ammunition and a multitude of devices used by railroads as explosives ... also what was possibly suspected to be black powder."

The elderly man's granddaughter declined comment.

Foley said the neighbors were allowed back into their homes at about 10:25 p.m. after the items were detonated and that state officials deemed the area "no hazard to the immediate area or neighbors."

The explosives were placed in the back of a Department of Public Works dump truck, covered in dirt and taken to an old Nike missile site on the edge of the Blue Hills Reservation off Route 24, where they were blown up.

Foley said Randolph police officers; Randolph, Canton and Braintree firefighters, the Massachusetts Special Hazard team and the state police bomb squad responded to the situation.

Firefighters from Holbrook and Avon assisted in manning the fire stations.

LOL Piper...reminds me of my wife when we were told she was pregnant.

The Dr told her she would be cantankerous, hormonal, and hard to deal with, and she replied :

"you mean I've been pregnant all my life"


I almost died of laughter that day....lol
