    So the explosion was inside a building, not on the street itself?

    How close is this to Fenway Park?

    If you're at work and have access to wire photos, be careful what you click on.

    Most likely someone from a well-regulated militia responsible, ala Timothy McVeigh.

    If I'm not mistaken, a mile or two at most

    Initial reports were explosions came from inside a building, but most recent info seems to be they were from outside, perhaps in trash cans.

    Here's a locator map for those of you familiar with the area.

    So are the two devices being dismantled now in addition to the one unexploded device found earlier (the one in the graphic Smash posted)?

    Sort of reminds me of an explosion that went off in Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics. That one occurred at night.

    Can't wait to see how Obama demagogues this and what the politically correct pussies among us declare that we need to ban and what freedoms we need to have taken away as a result of this explosion.
