naa photos bai nga dli underground leak...makita ang lungag sa ground asa nka butang ang bomb...

wa pa kaayo ko kita sa pics...work mode paman gud...

i hate it when this happens...why can't they do this in military compounds/government offices kung revenge man tuyo....(i am not saying that this is a terror plot or NOT...generally speaking sa mga bombings nga mahitabo)

[pinoy_09]

hopefully...hopefully, it's just some sort of underground gas leak...
if this was a terror-initiated plot, it would be a bigger blast...but then again, we hope it's not...

RIP to the little angel...regardless if it's a boy or a girl...this is not something she/he deserves...

Definitely not caused by gas leaks. Doctors who performed surgeries removed ball bearings from victims which suggest that the explosions were caused by home-made bombs or IEDs.

Kasagaran wounded cuts sa mga injured victims due to shrapnels coming from the blast at low level. Gas leak theory won't work this incident.

Sige pa on-going investigate ang Boston PD especially sa mga casualties belongings or close families if they can captured a video, pictures that may lead to possible depth sa investigation ug unsa jud ang nahitabo.

i feel very sad...kalouy sa mga victims oi, tsk tsk...

The worst part is that the families of the Newtown shooting victims were in attendance and they were cheering the runners right by the explosion.

i heard reports that it is highly-likely that the explosions were caused by black-powder pipe-bombs. It may spark debates in Washington and subsequent restrictions on reloading components ie ammunition. Judging by the injuries of the victims, it exploded low--and seems to be remotely triggered, highly-unlikely nga suicide bomber--if it was indeed an act of terror. Then again I'm no ballistic/explosive expert.

No matter how I see it, it's an ACT OF TERROR regardless it was done by a suicide bomber or not, foreign or domestic group. This was well-planned to cause terror.

black powder components would emit a much larger whitish smoke than those shown in the raw videos of the incident. it is not black powder.

ball bearing shrapnels is intended for a larger area coverage than simple nails for IEDs...

there was white smoke, after looking at it again...It is either black powder OR smokeless powder (which in large volumes produce substantial whitish smoke at combustion).



IEDs can contain any element of explosives, an explosive is classified as an IED based on whether it is makeshift/homemade, not by its composition (unless it uses military materials such as C-4 or other plastic explosives).
