How would YOU set them off?

Thanks to the modern 'smart' phone it's not that hard.

And I still see nothing to suggest that they couldn't have just gone off when opened. They weren't synchronized. All the explosion seem to have occurred inside buildings. And so on.

I never said they were not parcel bombs...

I was pointing out they may have been set off remotely not by opening a package.

I was pointing out this may mean it's more than one guy. Or that who the heck knows who sent the packages in the way you think it is? It's not striking me as one guy.

Maybe..

I don't follow a style you may be used to.

I'm broadening the conversation in any area there might be holes.


People need to stop assuming things.


So for instance... one can have bombs inside parcels and still place them.
The people I trained around in the Army did things that looked a certain way but they were something else.
Just experiencing that makes me have more questions than most people would know to ask.

My uncle worked on inventing ways of detecting IEDs in Iraq so I have a more personal interest in this than most.

Doesn't matter what any of us see.

What I am saying is with a smart phone, and tracking apps, with GPS systems.

It is scary to see how something of that magnitude could be done rather easily.

I am not saying definitively this is how it was done there.

I am just saying IT CAN BE done.

EASILY.

You keep changing your tack. A few posts ago it was "obviously" this or that. Now it's maybe and sorta.

I think you could actually make a more effective argument that this event never happened.

All the reports seem to come from the same AP story which is dateline Beijing, i.e. they didn't witness it. It's taken hours for some major news outlets to pick up the story. Some still haven't. The photos and video could be of anything. And so on.

Now the explosion probably did occur. But at least I pointed to some evidence that could suggest otherwise. Everything is drawn from one report by a someone who wasn't on the scene. And major news outlets waited hours to run the story. Some still haven't run it. And that suggests a lack of faith in the story by the MSM.

no I said ONE obviously. I think it's quite obvious the packages were not opened.

the reason for saying it was the pictures.

Some of the packages were not in place.

and now you say "Now the explosion probably did occur."

what? The explosion? Or all the explosions?


And now you are saying you don't know because NYT (news outlets) weren't/isn't there. Which is what I said.
Which is why I am asking questions and saying don't assume.

Maybe I know some things about bombs, how they are set off, and how to detect them..

I have a big lack of faith in the reporting so far. It's taken some time for you to express that in agreement with me.



Look I'm not trying to win an argument on ATS. It's not my deal.
I am only trying to expand this into a real conversation.
We are missing the facts.
Don't start your thoughts based on people who were not there reporting on it.
as you just agreed to.

Sending bombs through the mail has been done many times before.

Those detonate on opening a package.
by the pictures it's obvious these were not opened to make them go off.

Cough.

Seems like someone is trying to convince China to get into the "fight", now that Russia is on board.

I wonder if it's connected to the industrial explosions?

a reply to: Moresby

cough cough. clear your throat.
I am an honest poster.
I brought it back up in the context I originally said it.
Let's watch and see how this develops.

See if I'm right?
or wrong.

my experience tells me these things.

meanwhile
15 bombs is a lot for one man in one day.

China has a large Uighur population. Remember the ones we released from Gitmo?

my guess is someone doesn't want china to become the new superpower.
who would that be....

Series of FF activities to in effect to help garner support for ME activity?

If it's IS... terrorist, activity, then eh it adds up.

If they thought there was anyway to connect this to Russia the US media would be all over it.

But the lack of coverage suggests it's being view as a domestic problem. And China's being left to deal with it.

Unless events on the ground change drastically, this story will disappear rapidly.

I would guess Uigurs,with help.

It is China which has superpower ambitions and has challenged the west. The West's response is awaited. China has no experience in this game. Lets see how it pans out.
