What is being speculated about the other devices that were found. Didn't at least one of them (found floating) have actual dynamite in it? What about the one tied to the stabilizer or rudder?

read all the posts.
Three real bombs.
One exploded on the ferry.
One was found by dave's captain floating near the cargo ferry pier.
One was found attached to the hull of the ferry anchored in the harbor.

I did read all the posts. I am asking what is the supposition about the family's involvement with these other devices? Obviously, the guy with the backpack didn't keelhaul himself to plant the two devices (and lost one of the two at sea).

Hmmm.
Is that speculation about a $4M insurance policy - or has that been verified? I'd guess that should be quick and easy to validate.
Is it credible that they would do that to generate a bunch of money that would then be used for "political attacks" against the current state gov? If they could pull a big insurance scam, wouldn't they just pocket the money?
I thought the elder Borge was in jail - if so, how was he on the boat that day?
Is this really the official government finding, or some crank publication's conspiracy theory?
Dave D, Christi - does this story seem credible to you, or nonsense?
This is the one in jail: Roberto Borge Angulo - Wikipedia
Not sure how I feel about this theory. On the surface it seems plausible but there are some holes.
The actual damage was rather minor. Only way it substantially pays off is if it covers loss of revenues and the shutdown was externally imposed because of the incident. I haven't seen a clear explanation that makes sense as to why Barcos is not running right now.
If the Borges were going to do this, you'd think they would keep their own family members far from the scene, hire someone to do it and not stupidly do it themselves. Although I don't think anyone has actually seen this so-called video of him there.

When he gets out of jail he should consider moving to Illinois and running for office, we have a long tradition of incarcerated governors in our state. Rod Blagojevich is the 4th Illinois Governor to be jailed in the last 50 years. Maybe they need to build a Governors' block at the Federal Penitentiary!

I, for one, will be avoiding Austin Texas this year. It's easy for me and probably most people since Tex isn't exactly a big destination for tourism like Mex is.
