If we are going to go for Random Speculation, the realm of feasibility in my mind goes:
Things that are stupid:
1) Obama did it (or CIA or whatever)
This was posted on my Facebook feed by one of my more insane..."friends":
Does anyone else find it odd that you can not find a single useful news report about the boston explosion? I guess the media is waiting for Obama to tell them what to report so he can use this as leverage to try and pass more oppressive laws?
Of course, if it's a cloudy day, he finds way o attribute it to Obama somehow.

Ummm...there have been helicopters showing footage since I started watching, right as reports came out.

The reason I don't think it was anything like that is that according to the photos and aerial video I have seen, there are no holes in the pavement, and you can tell where the center of the explosion was. So, I can stand pretty firm that it was a device and not a utility explosion.

Nowhere but your source is reporting that many. Something's awry.
Some of you should look at yourself's long and hard. People are dead and lives have been changed for ever and this is how you react?
People die every day, that is the nature of life. It's just that some try to take advantage of incidents like this to further their own political careers and agendas. Were you equally outraged when Michael Bloomberg called his anti-gun press conference before they even finished recovering the bodies in Connecticut?

A gas leak was my initial thought too. Thoughts and prayers to the victims, and to anyone on this board who may have family members, or friends in the area. I hope they're found to be safe.
