Slightly odd no? OR did the masses form a perfect human shield so the cafee would survive.
If an explosion occurs, I imagine those people would DUCK and GRAB and cover their face behind the chair, well that's what I would do.
That would leave some nasty prints on the chair( even if it was just dirt ). Yet windows and chairs clean.

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.
See how many people there are between the bomb and the objects in question? That is a lot of surface area to absorb the concussive blast and the shrapnel.

Apparently you're not real familiar with shrapnel
like the kind that could have tore up the cushions and taken out some of the legs of the chairs
hmmmm one would expect that it likely might if one was familliar with shrapnel

Small Flash/bang explosion that didnt damage surrounding area, nor remove items from a table
As someone has already stated I am pretty confident that the victims would disagree with you on that and show you their absent limbs as proof.
Again I ask,
OP do you believe that there were explosions as the Boston marathon last week.
lol.. maybe an explosion like this:
or this,
maybe this,
your question is absurd as asking if someone they believed there was "A" shot fired the day JFK was assassinated.
the video's I posted above clearly show stunt explosions for entertainment almost mimicking the boston marathon bomb (if you can call it that) in size.
this is a real terrorist bomb notice the difference:

Its kinda funny how comments like these are ignored. Lets stick to the vacuum story.
As I sad before, even the chairs are crisp clean and they are snow white. They should atleast be dirty from the smoke. I use a wood fire, if the door is open even a little, I see dust and dirt.
And I will repost this.

Someone replied that they wouldn't have time to duck. But people will always duck and then run, I have never ever seen someone running when something goes bang. ITs your instinct. Duck, Look and then run.

One of the big problems with the net these days is the way it allows people with no qualifications whatsoever to become amateur incident scene investigators.....This a bit like those guys who keep discovering 'Giant UFOs Orbiting The Sun' or whatever; it's the natural result of people with no applicable skills attemting to interpret complex or specialised data and then posting what amounts to little more than their personal opinion/hopes/fears as some sort of news.

Surely an explosion that ripped through leg tissue would have ripped through cushion foam on chairs, I think so

The lack of everything being destroyed around the blast area actually has quite a simple explanation. To make it simple for folks I will simply ask; How many ball bearings actually fit in a pressure cooker?
Add some gunpowder and a timer and you have even less room for shrapnel. It was an explosive device but it was not like they used shaped charges, C-4 etc etc.
I love a good conspiracy but some of this gets just silly. I wish the Mods would make a rule about Boston threads...
