University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. “They kept making announcements on the loud speaker that it was just a drill and there was nothing to worry about,” Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15. “It seemed like there was some sort of threat, but they kept telling us it was just a drill.” Stevenson had just finished the marathon. His wife had been sitting in one of the seating sections where an explosion went off, but thankfully she left her seat and was walking to meet up with him. “There was just smoke, another explosion went off,” Stevenson said. “We all started running. There were people crying.” Stevenson said there was no question in his mind that this was an intentional act.

You can also see in that and other videos a man slowly walking on a platform on the roof just before the bombing.

Besides, why be on a roof at the finish line when you could have walked down 10 floors and really been there. It would be like choosing to go to the Superbowl and watch it from a concession stand?

hypothetical on / This is tough because I am seeing a sophisticated and coordinated attack so there must have been flags. If I was the mayor of Boston I would have ask NYPD to send some of their CTU guys. That is better than hoping nothing happens. and no, I would give no type of warning.../ hypo off

I think you got that wrong, I just watched the video of the person talking and he said at the beginning they were saying on the loud speaker that the increased security is just a drill.edit on 15-4-2013 by NotAConsumer because: (no reason given)
