    Because no one in that huge packed area would have noticed someone with a pair of bags walking around dropping them on the side of the street and then walking a short distance away to play with a detonator?

    No one knows anything and until then it's all just baseless speculation.

    Are people speculating over all of this in the hope that in 10 or 20 pages time they can quote themselves and say "I told you so"?

    May I be the first to say congratulations. Seriously this thread has descended into the written equivalent of Stevie Wonder playing guess who!

    Stevie, I'm told, insists on calling it Chess Who?

    Not here to argue, but vast amount of people in crowd had back packs, he would fit in well, But you raised a good point, a eureka moment, Why would someone have two large back packs, if indeed he worked alone,
    That's a good lead, people over look the smallest of things when investigating ,I FOR ONE WAS SEARCHING FOR A GUY WITH A BACK PACK, NOT A PAIR !
    WELL DONE!

    I think we can all agree that person who done it was at scene at time ?

    Can we? That's that sorted then.

    That he deonated first bomb, BADA BOOOOM!

    Nice sound effects.

    Then added the second one, after a few screams of terror, timing it to cause even more terror.

    Ah yeah, ya gotta wait for the screams of terror before you casually add the second one.

    He was there , for sure, watching on

    Sure we know that, you told us. Better tell the Feds now.

    And if I was him I'd be on other side of street some where in between both bombs, best view out of danger, I know people are focusing on scene of bombs, what cameras were pointed at scene
    Me I'd think outside the box. Where would I stand to view my plan unfold . And what footage can I get of that area

    You sound like you could give this game a fair go! I love how you think outside the box too.

    Reading that raised a point, Well done, I'm wrong He would not get to other side of street,
    Good vantage point, but he could never obtain it , no time to cross,, He would be in clear view crossing road, plus no one can cross, I'm guessing bomb at finish line was dropped last, as it went off first,
    He was beyond finish line, or somewhere in middle of two bombs, that's the footage I'd be after. He could never have crossed over to obtain a greater viewing point,Remote detonating, As it was perfect timing, How could he know how long it would take to get to finish line after dropping first, He would not want first bomb to go off while he was still carrying the second,

    Remote, First bomb deonated was last one he dropped off, So he was near finish line, beyond it, or headed back in direction he came from, back in direct of first bomb
    That's the footage, Who did not run, Who expected the blast

    It's hard to tell if you're actually being serious and think people are taking your "zing zing bada boom" storytelling seriously or if you're just messing...

    You might want to add a warning to people before they click on your links. Not everyone wants to see the gruesome aftermath.

    I did add warning
    ' victim can be seen'
    Did not ask you to click it.

    Graphic is all down to perspective.

    For some, seeing the anguish on a womans face knowing she is about to die is worse than seeing a graphic picture of a guy wheeled off to an ambulance minus a leg.

    You may be mistaking graphic for emotive.
    Graphic are a lot of the other photos we have seen.
    This image captures the emotions of the people injured and killed.

    What I find startling about this photo is the amount of people in the image still holding their ears from the effects of the blast

    Bloomberg reporting that the police interviewed a 20 year old Saudi man who was injured in the blast and searched his apartment. They're treating him as a witness, not a suspect.
    If it is the same guy, he is now being deported.
    The Saudi National, Abdul al-Harbi, who has been questioned after the Boston Marathon bombing, is being immediately deported on "national security grounds."

    I am not sure what is sadder. That someone would sell their medal to make some cash out of this event or that there are 25 bids on this item and the price is up to $300 now.

    I reported listing, there is actually category about profiting from a disaster, so maybe they might take it down. Doubt it though sadly.

    This is a completely hypothetical question, but say if the IRA were behind the bombings in Boston, would that mean the America would invade us to drive them out?

    Mod:

    There was a mod warning yesterday to drop the talk about the IRA, it only leads to off topic posts about the North.

    Also posts about the explosion near Waco moved to the existing thread.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    would agree to an extent, but looking at his selling history, he has sold items from the Boston marathon for all marathons from 2005 including jackets and signs etc. its not as if this is the only time he has sold something from the Boston Marathon.

    however, he could have waited to sell the medal. no need to put it up so quick.
