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...

From the videos I've seen, the explosion (or one of them) took place behind or under the stands, right next to the finish line.

Hard to believe that a vehicle with a bomb could get in there without being stopped and inspected.

Only other thing, it seems to me, is a person with a suicide bomb belt under his clothes.

If so, there won't be much left to put on trial. But could he have operated alone? Where did he get the explosives? Who, if anyone, helped him?

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.

explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate Republicans for blocking apptment "

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.

Sorry to tell you but terrorism is not just foriegn based. A couple of fanatical americans doing this is still terrorism.
