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.
That's what I thought initially too, or a steam pipe like the one that blew in NYC near Grand Central Station in 07. This is just sick...
This looks like a very ameteur attack. My guess it is a domestic motivated terrorist. When the professionals on the other side of the world plan these they are much more devastating.
Not necessarily. They are finding devices all over the city. And the pros on the other side are not only Al Queda there are plenty of interntional terrorist organizations that do not have the resources of al queda.

Next thing you know, they'll try and see how they can tie it to Newtown and guns. Despicable dirtbags. No matter the crisis, we have horrible human biengs that do this, and sure looks like they're usually from the Left.
Something tells me that when Fox News does the same thing, you don't have the same amount of outrage.
No but she's not far away, at a bar. Since they're finding other devices I'm trying to convince her by text to get the hell away from anywhere with crowds in he neighborhood.
It's a big holiday in Boston. Everyone has been out partying.
Looks like small homemade devices. This is not some terrorist attack or some governmental conspiracy. These look like fairly large pipe bombs...crude devices. I would say this is the work of a couple of common nuts.
Sorry to tell you but terrorism is not just foriegn based. A couple of fanatical americans doing this is still terrorism.
