TINFOIL Question - CNN Bomb Map showed 5 bombs when only 4 went off
There was a caller on Coast to Coast the other night that said that

CNN showed an early map of bomb blasts (the tube and above ground).

He shared that CNN had an "X" where a bomb went off --- where it

really didn't.

Later on, Scotland Yard said they found two "un exploded bombs" in

one location -- that was one of the locations on the CNN bomb map.


My question is obvious... can anyone validate this? If it is so...

CNN has some explaining to do...unless "Ms Cleo" is working for CNN.

1. Things were very confused for about two hours...
...after the first bomb went off. It's likely that the location was either evacuated due to the discovery of the bomb (and thus people thought it had gone off) or it could have been very easily an incorrect report of a bombing instead of the discovery of a bomb. There were quite a few false reports of bombs going off on that day where nothing had actually happened. It was really a mess.

3. I saw a MSM report and the guy was trying to prove
it was a planned ,North, South, East,West, pattern, but when they showed where the bus blew, it didn't fit the description, like it was something already written, but the bus blew early.

He tried to explain... but just dropped that part and went on.

5. The bus one is odd...
I'm of a mind to think that they originally intended for that bomb to go on the tube, but mostly likely wasn't able to get on the tube due to the general suckiness of the tube at rush hour - station closings are CONSTANT on the London underground.

Either that or they wanted one above-ground for some nice TV images of blown-up somethingorother.

4. I read a report that there were no unexploded bombs found at all
That the US press had reported that as fact and that it just wasn't true. The UK report was that there were no unexploded bombs found at all.

6. This is definately not adding up....
I watched MSM all day long, and I heard all kinds of things that just aren't true. Now he dosen't want an investigation?

7. There IS an investigation.
Just not the "public enquiry" that the tories supposedly want. The Tories are being jackasses, as usual.

12. I belive they did share "where it was found".... this was on CNN
early part of the terror incident.

If ANYONE has CNN tape archived this would be very very interesting

14. Interesting, the last offical word said no unexploded devices
Police denied that they had found any unexploded devices. Two suspicious packages in other areas were destroyed in controlled explosions, but Blair said they turned out to be harmless.

If you hear the claim again, or find out who the expert was, I'd be interested.

8. It's called confusion...
The first report I heard the morning of the attacks was that ten bombs exploded (don't recall which news source had that). But in the confusion, somebody in the back room probably made a mistake on the graphic. Having worked in a newsroom, I can testify to the fact that people screw up when they're in a hurry.
