What's up with all the trash at the Boston Bombing site?

Seems normal to me..

But where did it come from? The streets and sidewalks seem pretty clean everywhere else.

Anyone?

goof, its because everyone got scared and ran for it.

Normally stuff people throw away if they aren't running for their lives.

It's not the trash that I question but that first large pic to the upper left. Why were the windows of that place near where the bomb went off blown out on the sidewalk instead of blown in?

The bomb was outside, right?

Yeah that too, it's not like the glass just shattered and fell out it's blown out. Also I would expect a few bottles and wrappers and stuff but not a frikin' dumpster full of shit everywhere.

Go to an event where there are hundreds of people standing around for a few hours. The Christmas Parade in Hollywood is a good reference. At the end of the night the place has tons of trash lying everywhere. People are lazy and just throw their cups/wrappers in the street. If the "bombs" were in trash receptacles then you'd even have more scattered trash in those particular areas.

Sure I understand that but look at this image:

The trash is so concentrated and thick at the blast site and the rest of the street seems relatively clean in comparison.
Since you mentioned the trash receptacle, I'm wondering if the bomb could have been planted inside the building behind the glass and behind a layer of thrash? That would minimize the danger of the flying glass and dampen it while making it look like something really big just happened. If a bomb went off on the sidewalk between people there wouldn't be much of a signature of an explosion without something to blow out. If you are leaning toward a staged event like I am, the trash could be part of the Hollywood special effect.

almost all of that is crap used in the response to the victims. Gloves, and packaging for tourniquets and bandages, towels/cloths etc

no, the glass did not blow in or out - it shattered and fell down

pictures showing the inside of lenscrafters shows that nothing exploded inside there. In fact glasses are sitting undisturbed on open shelves inside.






I would ask nicely for the nonsense like all this to stop, but I know that those of you pushing the nonsense do not listen to reason because you have ulterior motives.

I listen to reason, I was not aware of the picture inside Lenscrafters. The glass shattering and falling out makes perfect sense. Your request to stop "pushing nonsense" is denied. This is a conspiracy website and all possible angles to current events will be hashed out whether you think it's nonsense or not. Thanks for your reply.

To the "glass shattered and fell down":

Fell down witch way? Could it be the direction away from the force causing it to shatter????????

Which areas are you talking about?

Some "tubes" are rolled up posters people had for the runners they were there to support.

Past the finish line, tables full of cups of gatorade, water, silver blanket jackets, and other things for the runners once they finished the race, all had to be moved in a hurry out of the middle of the street to allow emergency vehicles to get in..


If you mean the area of the bombings themselves..

well...

After victims were removed, a lot of medical equipment was left.

Yes, I meant the area where the bomb went off. I see a few water bottles in the debris field but most of it looks like stuff that's been ripped apart and shredded by a blast. Study it closely and there are bunch of pieces of blue plastic with no recognizable shapes or logos that I can make out. I guess it could be medical packaging but the way it's spread out and inconsistent makes me think it's trash from something else. I see very little in these pictures that looks like anything you mentioned above.

you linked to a page with many images, so I had to guess what you were talking about.

blue is probably medical exam gloves.

you can see them being worn by almost everyone helping.

they are not in the images just after the blast.

Right color, wrong shape though. There's a blue plastic tarp on that structure in the back but it looks perfectly intact. All the stuff on the ground looks torn up. ???

can you post the single image you are referring to?

Wasn't there a trash can right next to where the bomb went off? I assume the contents would end up all over.

Ah perfect, thanks for that image right after the blast. That settles it for me.
