The explosives that detonated during the Boston Marathon were made out of metal pressure cookers.
New reports reveal that “pressure cookers bombs” were used during the Boston Marathon on April 15, which killed three people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injured 176 more. The explosives were inside two “six-liter pressure cookers and hidden in black duffel bags on the ground,” according to the Associated Press.
“One of the explosives contained shards of metal and ball bearings, and another contained nails,” explains an expert who wished to remain anonymous due to the ongoing investigation.
