Its hypocritical if you ask me, following that reasoning its only okay to ponder and question things that aren't related or familiar to us. People die and we should respect that. but if people feel offended by these threads because its abit to close in their backyard then they should leave the computer alone until they can speak objectively.
I don't understand why the OP is getting attacked like the first 2 pages. He asked a valid question.
Surely an explosion that ripped through leg tissue would have ripped through cushion foam on chairs, I think so....
I believe this is one of the most important photographs published of the Boston attack. Captured a couple of metres from the point of blast...so why has the glass not been blown in?...or did the supposed injured smash them from the inside to get to their positions.

You know, when you go out on a job and come back you expect to find some debate going on, but no...lets just talk about the Op...Juvenile in the extreme...so back to the photographs.
Here we have some more evidence based on showing 2 things....Firstly there werent that many people between the side walk kerb and the chair area...most were actually behind the chairs...so that kinda rules out the body taking the blast theory and the chairs being untouched.... As you can see most have moved off or are in the entrance to the right of the forum.
Secondly, for those who are suggesting that there were many injuries or lost limbs during blast 2 at the forum., which resulted in bodies taking the full impact....As you can see there are injuries, but its not mass carnage like suggested......Even the tree is untouched... It will be interesting when the injury list is published, to see how many were injured at the site of blast 2.

The 2nd blast outside "The Forum" during the Boston Marathon, 1 of 2 blasts resulting in 3 deaths and 14 leg amputations did not damage any of the foam chairs, the legs of the chairs, and there are still salt and pepper jars and a plastic cup on the table........ Surely an explosion that ripped through leg tissue would have ripped through cushion foam on chairs, I think so....
Oh no! Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so! Puhleeese....not again, not this one, no, no no!!! Sometimes, and in this case, very unfortunately...it HAPPENED! What I don't get is why this IS the ONLY news we hear about constantly on the MSM...what about the fertilizer plant explosion in Texas? It was a tiny box on the eighth page of my local newspaper....What?
