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 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)

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 ?

"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But yeah, it looks like this supposed detonation warning is quite a few minutes out of date.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
