| Long Island blast being investigated by cops, FBI over concerns it could be prelude to something else |

| [FoxNews] The blast left a crater on the north side of the island that measured 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Authorities in New York's Long Island are investigating a blast that left a crater and was felt miles away Sunday. Police are working with the FBI on the probe, to determine whether it could have been a prelude to something bigger. The Suffolk County Police Department said the explosion occurred on Fox Island, off the coast of West Babylon, around 11:40 a.m. when a device was detonated. Authorities received nearly three dozen 911 calls, the department told Fox News. No injuries were reported. Fox News has reached out to the FBI. Investigators are not ruling out the idea that the incident may have been a test run for something bigger, such as a possible terrorist attack. "Terrorism is always a concern because people do test devices before using them," a police spokeswoman told Fox News. "The SCPD is investigating with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force on this investigation." The blast left a crater on the north side of the island that measured 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Authorities are seeking a boat seeing leaving from the area at the time. It was described as 23 feet long with stripes. Investigators have ruled out a sonic boom by an aircraft. |

| #8 From my rudimentary training in crater analysis at FT Knox in the late 70’s and assuming that picture is the actual blast location I submit the symmetry of the hole suggests either a stationary device detonated slightly above ground level, or a near perfect vertical descent projectile. Had to image the latter. |

| #7 I'm sure the FBI and the rest are panicking that they might actually have to do the job they're supposed to do. Though my cynical nature tells me the vermin at the FBI will only find these guys AFTER they do whatever it is they plan to, assuming it's not all part of the FBI's typical terrorism plot. 10 agents, one patsy, with the FBI supplying all the weapons and kaboomite. At this point, given how many times these things have come up, I can believe the FBI doing terrorism to 'cow' the masses to the wishes of their Nazi Democrat masters. Honestly, I've reached the point where the FBI ARE my first suspects in these things. |

| #6 ^ Most of the FBI's "assets" can barely manage a pressure cooker. |

| #5 Skid. Nice catch. But the 120 is a pain to haul at. Even worse if you're trying to not get busted. If your goal is to scare folks, you can go light. Nail the base plate of an 81 to the bed of a pickup, lay the rest down and cover with a dirty tarp. Don't even need any FDC when all you're doing is slinging HE around for terror purposes. A bit more prep for an actual target but unnecessary if you're trying to promote mail-in voting. 11B 71542 |

| #4 The blast left a crater on the north side of the island that measured 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Assuming its man-made on site detonation. |

| #2 If it's "something else", it will be covered up. |
