The article you linked is a joke. It's wild speculation based entirely on a tweet from the Boston Globe. There are so many things wrong with it, I almost don't know where to begin. I was hoping maybe you weren't actually taking it seriously.
First of all, even the article doesn't use the word "drill". The phrase they use, taken from the Boston Globe tweet, was "bomb squad activities". That information came right off the police radio, I was listening to the scanner myself when that went out. I think the wording was an awkward attempt to use a euphemism to avoid directly saying "The bomb squad is blowing stuff up" on the air. In context at the time, it was pretty clear that it meant the bomb squad was going to detonate a suspicious package. In fact, I'm not even sure the third explosion actually happened. The radio message was more like, "Don't panic if you hear something, that's just us." Everything else I saw about it came from this message, I never saw anything from anyone who saw or heard a third explosion firsthand.
So my problem with this article is they take one tiny tidbit of information with virtually no context, make some bad assumptions about it (you could hit the library with a rock from the bomb site, it's nowhere close to a mile), and then run off to crazytown.
My comment about false flags wasn't necessarily directed at you. It's come up several times recently from the lunatic fringe (including at the governor's press conference, which he shut down handily) and it's just an irritating distraction when there are much more important things to worry about. Here's my basic problem with all conspiracy theories: a few administrations ago, the president got his dick sucked in the oval office. The only people present for the incident were the sucker and the suckee, and yet somehow, within months, the *entire* country knew every last intimate detail of that encounter. If the President of the United States can't get his knob polished and keep it quiet, you mean to tell me that dozens or even hundreds of people can be involved with something as incendiary as a plot by the US Government to kill their own citizens, and no one breathes a word about it? I just don't believe it.
