Default Boston Bomb triggered by cell phone?

A cell phone detonator would be great for a command detonated device.

But if that were the case, it seems like they would have had a much
higher body count.



One of the devices went off right in the middle of a crowd. You would
need to use bigger shrapnel and a higher order of explosive to get
more damage.

In one of the videos..the first blast went off..and hardly fazed any
of the runners..except for one guy..who evidently took a hit..and
dropped and rolled in pain.

The other device was in a stack of Stuff, next to a mail box..which
deflected the blast a great deal and it was out between the runners
and the crowd. Poor placement. To have done it right..it should have
been placed against the face of one of the stone buildings behind the
fans. It would have acted like a claymore.

Amatures..


Thank crom for that.
