Boston Marathon Explosions April 15,2013
(will keep up continuous update via twitter first then here) -EvS
at about 1430 hrs EDT (Apr 17th 2013) here’s what we know
- 2 explosions happened at the Boston Marathon today at approximately 2:45 PM local time(EDT)
- 2 confirmed dead over 100 wounded
- The fire at the JFK Library is unrelated and NOT and explosion
- Boston Police found a third bomb (possibly 4th according to AP) which was safely detonated by bomb disposal
- Police had a suspect in detention, New York Post reports that suspect is allegedly a Saudi national
- Boston City Police spokesperson disagrees with NYP report
- “Bomb Drills” were being conducted prior to the explosions
- updates:4/17/2013
- the Saudi suspect released however police release statement that they do have a suspect now in custody which is almost immediately retracted so NO SUSPECT(S) as yet
- reports are now that it was pressure cooker style bombs that were used
- Mr.K and I (both of previous military service) have studied videos and photos of the scene and agree it was a low grade explosive used. We both surmise it was “amateur” work (or as some might say made to look that way)
- update 4/18/2013 FBI releases video of persons of interest (aka suspects)
- some of you I’m going to piss off with this, but my educated guess (in reviewing all evidence available) is that this was set up by non professionals using cheap do it yourself explosives. The hows and whys yet to be figured out to be sure. But i don’t think this was an “inside job” by el-ciada, no legislation got put forward, the media witch hunt just isn’t there and no agenda in sight. The “tell tale signs” just aren’t there. At the bottom I have included Alex Jones’ video where he alleges it is an “inside job” by pointing out “SEAL” operatives on sight. For starters they would not be that obvious……. if anyone disagrees please share why (intelligently, no screaming etc thanks) in comments or if a bit shy no problem just email us we’ll put it out but change the name. There are a host of reasons they would be there but to set up bombs while wearing such identifying gear…… sorry not buying it. I haven’t put the b.s. sticker on this just yet as there are still some points that a bit fishy. -EvS
- update final 4/19/2013. Turned out to be amateurs like we thought. One suspect dead after shootout and another on the run.
- Snopes has good article putting some water on the internet fires that are going around about this whole horrible ordeal.
- as far as I’m concerned this case is closed.
- updated APRIL 21st 2012. As more info comes in , one of the suspects is still alive and has been captured.
- our fellow researchers still think this is an inside job and who knows maybe their on to something. I won’t dismiss the possibility out of hand just the likelihood.
