looked like (to me) and reported to be an artery.

NPR report said casio watch parts had been found, thus bombs were most likely on a timer. Grain of salt.. yadda yadda yadda

There were several thousand runners in the area. I'm sure there are several million watch parts in the debris.

I don't mean to sound like a dick here, but is this thing big enough to dominate all of the news channels for 24 hours a day? I don't see how hearing about the 8-year old's school project 5 times since I cut on the tv helps anyone.

Remember North Korea?

Not sure if this pic has been posted in this thread, or if it will even work, but this is the TUFFEST dude in Boston:



close enough to the blast to have his clothes ripped to shreds and not even a drop of blood!

or did he rip his clothes to shreds to make tourniquets?

no idea, although he does look a little charred..... but you are probably right

and then he did squats amid the carnage

But really, ripping shreds out of the middle of your pant leg for a tourniquet makes no sense. I'd rip sleeves off of my dress shirt first.

4/16/2013 8:56:52 PM

i try to wear my shirt like that to the bars, to give the women the look that i'm a hard working businessman who knows how to get casual

4/16/2013 8:58:31 PM

That's pretty much my look when Im leaving the bar.

yeah even the sappiest of comments would be considered jaded as fuck by the standards of someone twelve years ago

now its just a bunch of college hippies in here hoping they are justified in hating their dads

4/16/2013 10:10:11 PM

^^^

A matter of perspective, but that looks entirely legitimate, assuming the bookbag is gone. wow.

Can't be 100% on the bookbag, though

Also, a timeline between those pictures would be helpful.

4/16/2013 10:11:58 PM

to me, looks like he is holding onto a bag strap in pic #2, to me.

also, to me, I don't see the same reference in the other pic, to me.

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 10:19 PM. Reason : nvm, GrayFox pointed out the reference; see it now]

4/16/2013 10:13:06 PM

Backpack is still on though......

4/16/2013 10:14:01 PM

what about the guy in pic #1 between the brown hoodie dude and the word 'BEFORE'

you know, the guy who is CLEARLY wearing a backpack

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 10:22 PM. Reason : hell, there are 2 guys wearing backpacks, brunette denim coat, blonde black jacket]

4/16/2013 10:20:28 PM

And black guy in blue shirt at top

And the big white guy in a white shirt. Everybody in Boston uses backpacks

Yeah I thought maybe that girl in the blue was the same as the blue hoodie later, but it looks a little different. I'm on a phone too so maybe it's easier to see on a computer. Don't see any other same people

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 10:27 PM. Reason : ~]

4/16/2013 10:24:07 PM

so what, I see like 5 backpacks in that pic. it's the fact that in pic #1 the guy has a bag on and in pic #2, it is plausible that the same guy does not. trying to find other people in the two pics, but haven't seen any. what's the time difference between the two pics?

4/16/2013 10:24:10 PM

I'd be curious what the time stamps were.

And to see some other pictures.

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 10:33 PM. Reason : the dude is in the right area, based on the scorching... assuming that was the spot]

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 10:34 PM. Reason : but the immediate aftermath pic, makes me question if the scortched spot was it]

4/16/2013 10:32:51 PM

4/16/2013 10:33:48 PM

It would also be nice to know the location of pic #2

Apparently the government sucks at conspiracy because once again the internet figured it out

As for the pics they are inconclusive. It also appears to me the guy is holding the strap of a backpack in the second photo.

4/16/2013 10:47:40 PM

The second site.... I dunno if the location is right... Its possible, considering the dude with the obliterated legs, and the woman who died were at this location, iirc.

4/16/2013 10:51:59 PM

thanks for blurring out the evidence, News7.

4/16/2013 10:55:02 PM

Page 10 has an unblurred pic. The bag is gone, and what looks like the worst injuries were to the left of it.

I have a feeling that's the bomb.... Closer to the stores and the tables would probably be more trashed. From a loss of life stand point, its a good thing it down t go off in the before picture.... So many more people would have been hurt.

4/16/2013 10:58:09 PM

I dunno if that's it because the fencing to the immediate right is bent around the mailbox as if the blast cam from behind the fence.....

4/16/2013 11:01:25 PM

4/16/2013 11:03:36 PM

If that's the bomb then that is one resilient mailbox

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 11:06 PM. Reason : ]

4/16/2013 11:05:45 PM

the mailbox is charred but not mangled. not from what i can see anyway.

4/16/2013 11:06:15 PM

Yeah that fencing wrapped like that bothers me. Maybe it was a bit behind there.

4/16/2013 11:06:27 PM

doubt it. i think they said they found more that failed to explode that were inside pressure cookers and looks like a junked pressure cooker to me in the highlighted circle

4/16/2013 11:09:48 PM

I don't see pic #2 on page 10... where's an unblurred version?

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 11:10 PM. Reason : page 10 has a different angle]

^since when? last I heard from BPD, there were only the 2 devices, which exploded, no others.

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 11:11 PM. Reason : .']

4/16/2013 11:09:57 PM

Best thing i can think of, as to why the mailbox is intact.... Its open air, path of least resistance, etc. Plus, It wasn't a high explosive. Moving it anywhere else location wise doesn't make too much sense because I'd imagine the tables to be a little more fucked up looking. Charring, etc.

But that railing....

4/16/2013 11:10:20 PM

I think a gremlin or terrorist was in the mailbox the entire time. Escaped underneath it like Hopper did in Speed. Look at it again and think about it.

4/16/2013 11:10:56 PM

its not the same picture but its the same area. different angle.

also, in that link, they highlight a guy running from the explosion. like he should be a suspect. a fucking bomb just went off.

4/16/2013 11:11:09 PM

the pictures of the dude running away in that news report are kinda ... i'd be running away, heh. though no stone unturned and such.

4/16/2013 11:13:55 PM

yeah sry ive gotten 100 percent of my information from this thread

did they not find any unexploded?

4/16/2013 11:15:00 PM

no, those were apparently false reports (well, at least BPD/FBI are now reporting no other devices found - 2 devices exploded and that's it).

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 11:16 PM. Reason : .]

4/16/2013 11:15:48 PM

The fence doesn't look mangled from the blast to me, it looks like people moved it and knocked it down either intentionally to rescue people or because of the casualties leaning against it.

4/16/2013 11:17:08 PM

I haven't found clear video of the 2nd explosion to see if it was in front or behind the barricade. Everyone on Channel 7's comments are arguing it was behind but the distant shots I've seen are not very conclusive.

4/16/2013 11:17:47 PM

What if that black backpack to the right was moved to the left where the explosion was? They said a black nylon bag, CNN has a picture of it. That one looks full and weird too

[Edited on April 16, 2013 at 11:19 PM. Reason : ^^ it would take brute force to bend that thing around the mailbox when they could easily pick it up]
