    2nd device found in Chelsea last night was a pressure cooker similar to Boston Marathon. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/manhattan/blast-rips-chelsea-street-started-running-article-1.2796382 …pic.twitter.com/C6MIagh0uB

        look up boston bombing I think they show the power, capacity. Or look at the videos, captured that day, youtube.

        current state of information: a picture of a pressure cooker of undefined size with tape/wires. Useful similarity?

        now they are saying the sec. Device did not detonate. So if it was as powerful as the 1st... Think about that.

        You are confused. I am not saying it was not a bomb, nor not dangerous. How close parallel to "Boston Marathon" yet TBD.
