>>Did Turner Boradcasting NOT warn the Boston Police that they would be doing this? If not, then Boston did the right thing, and the network has egg on its face. If the city or police had known in advance, and exactly where each device was planted, they could have just let folks who called about the devices know that they were aware of them.
Yes, the city did the right thing. Someone called up WBZ
radio and said that bombs have four parts: switch, power,
high explosive, low explosive (something like that) and this
device had the first two, plus maybe some protruding wires, etc. Placed on the supports of a bridge, etc.; sure, it could be a prank but they were being careful just in case it was a bomb.
The resulting tie-ups may have resulted in people not getting to job appointments, dialysis treatments,
or various other important things in life...
(job INTERVIEWS I meant)--anyway, it disrupted business and many other things.
Someone called up WBZ radio.....Do they know who this someone is?
