neufuse Veteran Posted April 15, 2013 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2013 a university of mobile coach said it was odd that bomb sniffing dogs were at the start and finish lines before the explosions and the loudspeakers were pumping "it's only a drill" http://www.local15tv...N8z6eSDJEA.cspx I don't know how that matters? I was at the Pittsburgh Marathon last year, and they had bomb dogs out also, it's pretty much standard protocol now to continuously sweep areas FOX is still reporting a "person of interest" in the hospital is under arrest..

DocM Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 This just in: Anyone else with military experience will notice what I did... it's the same tactic you use to take out a convoy. Yup. That and AQ has an MO of stampeding people with the first bomb and attacking the survivors with the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neufuse Veteran Posted April 15, 2013 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2013 now my wife said they found device(s) at the kennedy library.. how did they know to look there???? because when something happens, the first thing you do is lockdown public places, the kennedy library is a public place..... it doesn't take much to find a device if you go into "Secure the public places" mode.... if it was a device, it appears to just be a unrelated fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCordRm Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yup. That and AQ has an MO of stampeding people with the first bomb and attacking the survivors with the second one. For those of you without military training: 1. The first explosion takes out vehicle one or two, which also hurts vehicles behind by causing them to crash into the hit vehicle, or stop and become an easier target. 2. The second explosion catches rear vehicles, and vehicles that hit reverse to move away from the initial blast. (In this case, people running away from the first bomb.) Being a marathon, with people instead of a convoy, you also get this at the finish line because when the first runners get to the line, the by-standards will stand up and converge to celebrate. The point being... this was plotted with military precision. I'll be very surprised to hear some average Joe put this together. (Bomb-making skills aside. I'm only talking about the execution of the plan.) Nothing Here and Franklin Lee_446138 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCordRm Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 security failed BIG on this one. how aren't there sweeps being done all throughout the event? I don't blame "security" on this. You're talking about a relatively small force trying to cover a HUGE area... to include trashcans and stuff. That's a LOT to watch/search. As I said before, though, I do find it odd that no-one (the public) saw anything. While the explosions weren't huge, they were big enough to suggest a fairly odd package for someone to just be dumping off in trashcans.

Dogs are usually trained to find nitrates, the base of most explosives. The problem is not all explosives use nitrates. They can also use hydrogen peroxide and numerous other highly reactive chemicals. You'd be shocked at what household, hardware store, drug store & kitchen items can be made into a bomb.

articuno1au Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Anyone who's played a modern shooting game or read a Clancy book knows basic tactics for bombings :\ The internet isn't exactly devoid of such information either. Suggesting it's military precision is kind of pants.. There was an interview with the guy who's running alongside the man with his leg blown off in the wheel chair. Guy is thoroughly shell shocked and wearing a fair amount of blood.
