En jij hebt bewijs dat hij dat heeft gedaan?

We just absolutely annihilated the fence and pulled it back so we could see the victims underneath.

Gelukkig dat bus banden niet met explosieve chemicals en stukjes scherpe stal zijn gevuld.

En toch zoveel schade. Moet je nagaan wat die echte bom dus aanrichtte

Maar wat neem je hem nu kwalijk?

En dat blijkt uit het feit dat hij hekken heeft vernield om bij de slachtoffers te komen?

It appears that the storefront behind the glass that blew toward the bomb is empty. There is nothing inside, and all could have been staged from there.

Even if not, considering the evidence that this was a drill, they surely could have reserved that portion of sidewalk for their "team", then everyone in the immediate area would be under control.

Everyone else would run, and the drill could proceed.

There are several officers in these photos, standing on the perimeter, not involving themselves with the drill. If a perimeter were maintained, then who would know?

The sidewalk viewing area at the finish line is highly controlled, everything is already in place for this kind of thing.

You can get a loose idea of how they could have done it when you look at the scene can't you. Just theoretically I mean.

The bomb itself looks very small, doesn't knock over or scatter the people in the road, could easily be just a smoke bomb. But in the panic and the fog people won't be watching closely. Maybe a bunch of guys already prepped as victims are waiting in the empt store, run out and just throw themselves down, scattering blood capsules as they do so. No one will really be able to tell they weren't there beforehand. People are afraid and shocked and not thinking critically. They probably won't even go near the idea it could be fake.

Actors all around in the crowd are primed to take the story and sell it as more than it is. Carlos saying the flags were knocked down, when he knows they were pulled down by "rescuers." Other guys describing dozens of severed limbs. Where? I've only seen two, may three amputees on film.

Even those "rescuers" seem a little odd to me. They are so quick, so calm they seem rehearsed, and instead of heading straight for the supposedly injured people, they all focus on pulling down the flags and dismantling the barriers.

Ok, maybe we can assume they were making a path for the EMTs, but you only need a fairly narrow access point, certainly don't need all of them to be pulling the entire set of flags down. And when you put this slightly odd behavior next to Carlos's lie about the flags, you wonder - were these guys doing set dressing, making the blast look worse than it was?

The store was a branch of opticians' by the name of 'Lenscrafters'. It was supposedly open and trading on the day of the marathon. Clearly this picture was taken prior to the 'bomb', there does seem to be hell of a lot more stuff in there than on the day in question.
