This was no pipe bomb! It was way too loud for that and a pipe bomb blast would not have made the stadium shudder. We sit in Row 71. The people behind us on Row 72 leaning against the back wall said they felt it shake behind them and then we all decided it was our imagination. Guess it wasn't.
ABCNews.com is calling it "apparent suicide bomb" in their headline posted 15 minutes ago. I think that is the AP headline.
PhiKapMom - I just heard about this story this very minute and am trying to get caught up.
It is correct that the stadium shook from the blast, that there was more than one bomb found, and that cell phones and instant messaging did not work for some period of time? Did the police put in some kind of blockage regarding the cell phones or is that the result of the blast?
Is there any word on whether the student was Muslim?
This is astounding that no one in the national media is making a big deal about this.
