Boston Bombing : DID YOU NOTICE THIS? -- Going Viral!!

Ok -- Ladies & Gentlemen,

This video has stunned me.
This was tweeted by the Globe earlier that day about a bomb drill being administered by the
bomb squad personnel and they said that there would be an explosion at the building ACROSS
from the Boston public library.

And sure enough, they kept their word.
youtu.be...

I hope some other folks here also save this video as well, because youtube will more than likely force the user to delete the video, or do it for them..

How nice of them to announce it, eh?

Edit notice:
I HAD to add this fantastic video made by Nevada's Governor
David Lory Vanderbeek
m.youtube.com...

S&F because officials who staged this drill want Americans forget to it went all as planned/controlled etc

Notice the VIDEO has been FLAGGED AS INAPPROPRIATE?

Sorry but this has already been debunked. This controlled explosion happened after the original explosions in an effort by the police to secure the area.

They were simply doing their job and controlling what they thought was another device.

I have been thinking the same thing since this first came to my attention. I hope that this thread can shed some light n the subject. This is very disturbing.

P

Story falls apart when looking at the time.....it was tweeted an hour after the explosion meaning the bomb squad thought there was a suspicious package in the library...which was spoke of after the first two blasts.

Do you have a source for this. It would be a relief to put this one in the debunked pile.

Many thanks.

Your location is interesting, when are you coming to destroy us?

Zero footage of controlled explosion happening after. within one minute is within one minute,

not hours later after deciding investigation is going to reveal that those were the controlled explosions, thus make another - way after within one minute. it was more toward the afternoon/evening, even!

Debunked..?? Where.

This is my second line.

The tweet came 1 hour after the explosions, the author of the video forgot to check their time differences.

it's those strangely coincidental-drills-while-the-event-is-in-progress again. Isn't it all fabulously fantastic.

Don't understand this...it's starting to be a candid camera moment.

Any sources on the "debunking"?

Explosions 2.50 eastern
Tweet 3.53 eastern

The police and bomb squads were simply securing the area, we had lots of reports of suspicious devices, bomb squads don't simply sit around waiting for a device to go off! They control detonate it themselves.

Oh OK, they decided to go ahead with a freaking controlled explosion after the bombings?? Yeah, like they didn't have other things to do at the time.

sorry while i do see some shenanigans going on with this boston marshal law thing, THIS is not one of said shenanigans.

they were referring to the other bomb they found and were about to detonate. sensationalist dis-info


ETA: i'm a little disappointed in ATS, none of you even bothered to check and see if the tweet was even legit or not, let alone check the time of said tweet

How do you detonate something that's not a bomb ?

Do you take a real bomb, come to a dumpster, insert the bomb and blow to smithereens?

I'm obviously not in the know on the bomb squad procedures, but how do you detonate a harmless device/garbage bin/rucksack ?

And the tweet comes from the Boston Globe. Clearly EST.

I searched the Boston Globe tweet history for that tweet about the 600 Boylston St..... I couldn't find it. Could have been removed or it could have been a photoshopped image of a tweet.
