Hanover, MA fire department reported "explosions" on 3/12 and 3/15 and found "unexploded devices."

Illegal Explosive Devices

March 27, 2013 By admin

The Hanover Police and Fire Departments have responded in the past week to two incidents in which witnesses report explosions and flashes of light. Officials fear that the incidents result from the use of illegal and potentially dangerous explosive devices.

Officials are concerned that continued incidents will lead to injury or property damage. The potential is high for injury to innocent parties who find unexploded devices. The danger is increased by the fact that the recovered explosives appear to be non-commercial devices made by untrained parties.

On March 12, at 8:34 PM, police and fire personnel responded to the area of Pine Street and Tower Hill Drive. Witnesses at the neighboring Target store on Washington Street reported seeing a bright flash and hearing two explosions from that area. Several unexploded devices were taken from the scene and later detonated under secure conditions by the State Police Bomb Squad.

At 7:49 PM on March 15, another incident was reported not far from the Pine Street location in the area of Hearthstone Lane and Fieldstone Lane. The area was searched but no additional devices were found.

[flamingdem]

14. At least here Sunil's hair is too short plus the bridge of his nose is a bit different nt

16. The bomber with the white hat wasn't six feet tall, I don't think.

Sunil Tripathi was last seen wearing a pair of blue jeans, a black Eastern Mountain Sports ski jacket, glasses and a Philadelphia Eagles wool hat. He is 6-feet tall and weighs 130 pounds.

18. That is tall and skinny, the white cap guy looks 5'9 to 10 ish however

both seem to have the same half smile at all times.

[MADem]

19. He looks shorter than that to me--five six or seven.

Compare him to the man standing by the doorway in the FB photo, and the women in the picture as well.

I don't think this is a match. Nose is not the same.

10. Regarding the big photo up in the OP - The person with the photo HAS talked to the FBI

Below is the text he posted on his facebook page...

Friends & Family,
I have been feeling down since the Boston Marathon bombing because I couldn't do anything to help the injured victims...until now. Thanks to my friend Jason who pointed out to me that the photo I took right after the second bomb and posted on FB has suspect #2 in the left hand corner of the photo. White baseball cap turned backwards, black sweatshirt, NO BACKPACK right after the bomb went off. Compare to the ones posted by CNN, it is unmistakable. I spoke to the FBI and it is may be the best photo they have at current time!!! One step closer to taking these @!#?#'s down...share as much as you can so that if someone knows this person they can turn them in.

12. Good. The guest on cnn just said that the FBI probably has video of them for the entire thing

that they aren't releasing. Lots of cameras there. Photos are best for detail of course.

[flamingdem]

13. They are showing it now on CNN! said they just got it nt

[Tx4obama]

15. Good! n/t
