Is it possible that it was a leaking gas line that caused the explosion? I don't want to draw conclusions that someone intended to do this on purpose until evidence is shown.

No, there have been a couple of confirmed reports of 2 packages on the sidewalk. Actually in one of the videos you can see someone approach the packages right before it explodes, but they edited the video already. Also there are so many cameras around this area, whoever did it will be caught.

I think all news should be treated as rumor so far. Let's not spread panic. :(

Boston Police are telling people to stay away from trash cans. I think it is safe to say that confirms this was deliberate. By definition, if a bomb was left in trash cans, this is a terrorist attack.

Just saw this on Reddit. Don't know how legit it is but...

From radio scanner (most recent first):

"police are going to use a water cannon on boylson, you're gonna hear a loud controlled explosion of remaining bags by ground zero momentarily"

"all detectives on boylson make sure you have your tape recorders with you"

"Another possible incendiary device at UMass Library. Get it out on social media that people should get away from the area as soon as possible"

"At this time all victims are off the street"

"Stay off boylson until it has been swept"

"several suspect packages still up on boylson street"

"Plan: we're gonna get the victims out, sweep the street for other devices, then get people out of restaurants and bars"

To anyone now who thinks this was just a gas pipe I now believe you are wrong and it was indeed a bombing.

Pretty much.

Police have found an exploded device and will have a controlled explosion within one minute near 600 Boylston across from the Boston Public Library.

Do you believe it is the Taliban or another group? Is that info avalible yet?

Edit: Just throwing this out there: North Korea?

Judging by the scale, I'd say this was the work of someone else, and not a sanctioned attack by those groups. North Korea would never stoop to a terrorist attack. It's too small of an attack for something North Korea to do.

oi vey.. its not north korea

Yeah, for North Korea... but it's stupid to speculate it was North Korea... this is likely the act of a loan person or a couple of persons.

I guess you guys are right. We need to wait for more information.

Apparently the Death Toll is now at 12.... This is horrifying.

I'm surprised at how quickly the death toll has risen, as it didn't look that serious from the initial coverage.

As for suspects, North Korea isn't even slightly credible and it's concerning that anyone would even suspect them. The most likely groups would be white supremacists or religious extremists (either Christian or Muslim), though we really should wait for more information.

A water cannot wouldn't cause an explosion, unless it was being directed at a bomb.. so that was likely a third device.

Agreed. As sick as this incident is, it's too small of a terror act for intention of starting a war.

Let's all keep our cool until we know all the details.

That could just be a precautionary measure, warn people to clear the area and stay away from more potential bomb containers. Police will often give such warnings while an investigation is ongoing.

I think its a bit early to say with any certainty that NK is NOT involved, or do you have some special source of information on the investigation that no one else has perhaps?

IMO, we wait and see.

As far as I'm concerned, yes, whomever is responsible, they're out to cause fear, which is the definition of a terror attack.

Doesn't matter what individual or group is responsible, it's a terrorist attack.

Could also been a possible gas line explosion? Too early to tell.

They will get to the bottom of it and will know within the next few days.

Don't want to jump to conclusions before we have any information.

That's why a bomb or some kind was also found at a library?

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nas · Posted

      The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
