In fact, you could say that was a primary job of mine for around three years before my discharge.<br /><br />Explosives of this type were pretty common in Iraq. With a mortar or something like the 120 mm from an Abrams tank, the shell has velocity built up as it exits the barrel so when it hits, the main thrust and force of the explosion is mostly directional, although some shrapnel will fly in different directions, particularly with a mortar.. <br /><br />With an IED, which is essentially what was used in Boston, the explosion and the force is a lot more omnidirectional, because it's deliberately designed to be an anti-personnel weapon and the fragments, shrapnel and pieces fly in all directions and the main thrust of the explosion is outward in all directions, including upwards. One of the pressure cooker lids was found on top of an office building a number of stories up.<br /><br />With that kind of force going in all directions, you might have some force pushing a light object like a fence away, but you would almost certainly have some torque and force capable of lifting it up and over the detonation point, or TOWARDS the blast point.<br /><br />I don't know if this was the back pack in question, and it looks like maybe the FBI doesn't either, or at least they aren't saying. but I do know you're mistaken about an explosion automatically 'moving stuff in away from the blast'.<br /><br />MaxMaxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-17465962570247938182013-04-18T19:11:44.320-07:002013-04-18T19:11:44.320-07:00Really!!!

With me so far, take a good look at the fence....it is blown OUT toward the street. So the bomb had to be BEHIND the fence...besides it is the wrong color.
