If that is really a bag with the bomb

[NaughtyVisions]

I read elsewhere the bombs were in black duffle bags, not the tan/brown grocery bag that you see highlight in the first pic.



Additionally, even though it says that you can see the bag is no longer there in the second pic, the area where the bag would be (had it remained in its exact position) is blurred, but even with the blur, I still see that tan/brown color in that area behind the blurring.

Just looks like a media outlet trying to have some great exclusive item when they really have nothing.

i don't think that's the bag that did it.. if you see the fence, it's bent around the mail box

but the bag is in front of the fence, whereas that damage should have had the bag behind

plus there is no damage at all to the tree, fence, and mail box

very strange.

i can see where the barricade split and wraps around the mail box.

maybe there was two right there?

the damage makes no sense at all.. strong enough to take out legs, but not strong enough to dent a mail box/damage a tree?

The FBI has said that the bombs were built using pressure cookers. That's actually pretty damn near the size of what a pressure cooker would be.

The thing I don't get, is how would no one even look inside the bag if it was left un-attended.

Just a thought about the fence.. Perhaps it was the people's bodies that actually bent the fence in that direction.

well, certainly whatever it was is in that pic right? man, it sure looks like that could be it, i don't want to jump to conclusions. the news earlier said the bombs were in pressure cookers, that looks about right for a pressure cooker in that bag to me, again, i'm just venting over the situation, i'm going to wait for the authorities, with all the csi tech they have, they'll get it sorted out.

Black nylon bag "could" be inside of the bag(s) there, shown.
Erin Burnett just told me that. Who knows...but "any picture matters".

i hear you

there is another bag just sitting around in the before pic too

[2013]

I also can see the tan bag still there looks like the blurred it out to look like smoke deff not the bag

I heard an interview with one of the video teams. They are analyzing bags and backpacks in all the available footage and then tagging them. Along with other characteristics they said they can then track the movement of that individual throughout the city using all available footage.

If you get a chance to read Kevin Cullen's piece in the Globe today. Do it. Thats the spirit of Boston. "Only three things matter in Boston; Sports, Politics and Revenge." I miss that town sometimes.

I think you might be right too, no way that fence would wrap around the mail box when the bomb is on the other side.

Their is no damage to the mailbox (that you can see) is because it was a very low explosive devise. Kinda like what a larger firecracker would do if it was wrapped with shrapnel. If this was a bomb made of c4 or the like it would have killed hundreds.

After seeing the picture on the front page of CBSnews, I think it's pretty certain that bag was one of the bombs. This picture is showing the exact same spot that the investigators are concentrating on.

these 'bombs'.. the dogs couldn't detect them right?

who in the world would think that up?

the bag would have been to the left 'south west' of the dudes left foot

they're looking for debris/triggers i think

[Verbal]

I'm sure it's no coincidence that both locations had a garbage can in almost the exact spot where the bombs went off

[AllAboutCams]

Did they catch anyone yet

12 guys. 2 working.

Those two pics (or vid frames?) were shot on tripod - the camera didn't move at all between the two shots.

I find the composition somewhat odd. If the camera was set up to record runners as they neared the finish line, (as a cameraman) I'd think the camera would be pointed downwards more to cover more of the street and runners. In those two frames - the camera seems more centered on the mailbox/bag and crowd in front of The Forum.

Unless the pics have been cropped to center that area more?

[Si]

I'd like to see both pics as they were. Looks very interesting though.

Anyone got the 2 (or more) images with no blurring or highlights?

[bronco67]

So this would be the second explosion, right? The one in all the videos was up against a building.

It's pretty easy to hide that from dogs nowadays
