SrWoodchuck Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Was/were there a spectator/s who was a target? Were the injuries/casualties from the runners or those by the restaurant/sidewalk area? Thus far, it's not clear if it was only spectators, but yes, spectators have been injured. If you watch the initial explosion, there were spectators at the barricade. When the blast occurred, I believe the bodies absorbed the blast & pushed the barricade out into the street. they would have been centered for the most damage. The fact that the blast also damaged the interior of some buildings mean that the bomber probably had no time to put resisitance behind the bomb, to focus...or shape the charge....which would have made it much worse.

It was probably in a small bag or backpack. Looking at the vids, they look like small charges. I would say (and I could very well be wrong wrong wrong) who ever did this, they were not professionals, amateurs some people trolling the Net.

You might start googleing "Leaderless Jihad" There are any number of small groups of violent Islamist in the counrty, they get their insperation from al qaeda/islamic terror groups on the net. One reason I say they were not veteran/professional terrorists is, no secondary bombs in place...also the small charges used and (it appears) no shrapnel. I would say no one in this group/cell had any experience with explosives. This could have been A LOT worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing that there was shrapnel, and that there were secondary explosives found...but that the government [not sure which arm, or local, state or DHS] shut down the cell towers for a few hours to block a cell phone trigger, until the devices could be disarmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearvision Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Seems very similar to the "Olympic" bomber as far as type of explosive. Why 4 hours after main finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrWoodchuck Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Seems very similar to the "Olympic" bomber as far as type of explosive. Why 4 hours after main finish? Speculation: The premier runners [including foreign runners] were long gone, but the families waiting for Mom & Dad to finish their amateur marathon would be at the barricades. Also it's after professional reporters & running fans were gone.....so families could pack the finish line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearvision Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Very conflicting info right now. Phone companies say no disruption per FOX, but yet FOX says reports of. Early reports of more bombs are now being reported as suspicious packages that had to be treated as bombs. It will be interesting to see what really happened.
