I can come up with some theories about the 3 bombs in a backpack and what that means, but it would only be speculation. Either they were all going to go up together when set off or they had not yet all been put in there permanent place. No doubt the plan was to set them off tomorrow during rush hours.
The robot may have removed one bomb from the backpack and then it blew up unexpectedly while being moved away from the rest. One article said officials were visibly stunned when the explosion happened so I find it hard to believe that it was a planned explosion.
According to one report Bombs are not well constructed, maker is not an expert.
yeah, now reports are that the explosion was not planned....
strange to have 3 bombs in one backpack, unless they were awaiting further “distribution” to their final locations....
so lucky this was stopped with no one injured or killed, apparently.
A lot of bad #### going on this weekend!!!!
NYC, MN, NJ, etc.
