“In that photo, the small area where it’s still smouldering would indicate a small bomb, not a gas explosion.”

And wouldn’t a gas explosion produce a massive fire?

The majority of finishers would be arriving at this time.


Is that true? Most people are amateurs, coming in at the 4 hour mark? If that is true, then they wanted max damage. That makes “sense” from the evil point of view.

Praying.

Also already saying that it is “impossible” to protect something like a Marathon, I assume to make sure that if it WAS terrorism, they can say Obama has no blame at all.

There was something leaked a few weeks ago that said that DPRK had a three phase plan:

1) Saber rattling on nukes
2) Give a deadline to not “ensure safety” of foreigners
3) Terrorist attacks

Phase three was supposed to be in South Korea. I’ll see if I can find a link.

it’s interesting that this happened as one of the biggest sell offs in gold is happening and the market is tanking.

Almost as if someone has a massive tumult planned. (besides the bombs)

It has the marks of an ROP attack but they fear the crackdown.

If it is the Norks, what’s Obama going to do about it? Nothing.

“I suspect they were triggered via cell phones.”

True. Good point.

I don't know the crowd dynamics, but I'd think a no-goodnik would seek the highest population density. On a timer, well, random effect.

FOX is saying cell towers, land lines, and internet are all choked to the point of useless.

I just remember being on I-235 heading south into town when I saw the smoke coming from downtown OKC. The Radio was reporting a possible gas explosion within miutes.

Yeah then he did his hit on NASCAR.

FWIW He also said security has spread to other cities. Interestingly enough there was a bomb threat yesterday near Pittsburgh where I live.

When I went to work last night there were LOTS of police searching in Crafton just west of Pittsburgh. No official word even after I called police...that is part of my job.

And from 3:20 to 3:40 or so sirens have been sounding and emergency vehicles speeding by.

It’s probably nothing but still something I’m watching.

If it is terrorism and they are found to have crossed the Mexican border ILLEGALLY, this son-of-a-bitch in charge should be tried for treason!

Up till now I think 80% of the terrorists we know of came in on student visas that were duly approved at a U.S. Embassy.

Thanks for the heads up. I turned to Boston’s channel 4 on the big screen and am reading about it at the same time. It’s a horrible tragedy.
