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.
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 ?

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.edit on 22-4-2013 by bluloa because: (no reason given)
Counterterrorism officials found five additional suspect devices around the Boston area on Monday, but a law-enforcement official later said closer examinations led them to doubt that they were bombs. An earlier version of this article cited people briefed on the investigation saying officials believed they were undetonated explosive devices.

you do realize that, David Lory Vanderbeek is running for Governor in Nevada, and is not the Governor.
if i lived in los vegas, i'd make book that this guy would lose.
Nevada's current Governor is,
Brian Sandoval

Thank you. I went through 4 pages of looking to see if somebody had already remarked on the issue of the "Governor of Nevada" without seeing nary a peep until your post. I also see that nobody is paying attention to your very astute observation. For more information about Vanderbeek, here were the 2012 ballot tallies:
ballotpedia.org...
He received only 4.9% of the total votes. He's not the governor of Nevada and had no chance in hell of becoming one in 2012. extra DIV

Hate to be a party pooper, but that video is wrong, I heard them call for the controlled detonation on the scanner after the blasts had happened.
I hope that disinfo really doesn't go viral, because it really is wrong. Those who listened to the scanner know it.

This whole Boston thing whether this OP's vid is valid or not... Stinks bad!! I feel this was a drill for the bigger surprises yet to come as our dollar collapses!

"Neutralizing" a bomb by exploding it seems to defeat the point. What's up with that?
But yeah, it looks like this supposed detonation warning is quite a few minutes out of date. It's already well-known that there were apparently other active bombs in the area...

All this demonstrates is that you know f**k all about explosives.....Which isn't a massive surprise TBH.
There seems to be very few facts and an awful lot of, often quite misinformed, interpretation in all of the threads on this subject so far.....Maybe familiarise yourself with the subject matter before weighing in?
I've also seen lots off accusations levelled at Craft International.....But has anyone bothered to contact them for comment?
Isn't it possible that as a security contractor they may have been providing.....Security?
In the post explosion pictures they sure look pretty stressed out to me.....Much more the look of men for whom something has gone very, very wrong, than of those covertly celebrating IMHO.
Another question has occured to me.....What exactly do you think you would have to tell a bunch of ex-SEALS to persuade them to use fragmentation bombs on a large crowd of American civilians including women & children?
If something similar were asked of the SAS I'd imagine the person doing the asking would probably suddenly find themselves having to answer an awful lot of very direct questions.....Possibly while staring down the barrel of an FN 5-7edit on 22-4-2013 by squarehead666 because: S&P/Content
