Explosions at Boston Marathon (4 Viewers)

I feel sorry for their father who is in Russia. They interviewed him and his initial reaction was they didn't do it, not my boys. They've been set up. He's obviously in denial and when reality hits, he will need help to get through his emotional devastation.
I'm sure the Russian government will be helpful in providing him resources to endure this trying time in his native Chechnya.
Who looks to the government for mental help anywhere, let alone Russia... I hope this father has a good family support system and isn't completely alone over there.
Citizens living in the first world with one major exception?

 
probably cause the guy was potentially packing some serious heat in the way of whatever bombs he had left. They probably didn't want him to set one off anywhere near a residence. I don't blame the cops one bit. If the suspects didn't have any bombs, this would have been over quickly.

 
There can't be that many places to hide, even in a major metropolitan area, and pretty much every free officer in the Northeast helping to try to corral the guy.
They'll catch him but there would be a ton of places to hide. And you have thousands of law enforcement resources working together but not knowing each other. With a spare uniform of any kind, you could hide in plain sight or pass right through. Sometimes the more resources you throw at a project, the less efficient it becomes. And then there are the shift changes. Some of these cops probably haven't slept in 24 hours. This is not easy.

 
State Police released a summary of the events that led to the death of bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and the closing of metro Boston communities as law enforcement searched for his younger brother.In a statement, police said the first indication of trouble was 10:24 p.m. when MIT Police received a call from someone reporting they had heard what they feared was gunshots. Four minutes later, the 7-11 store at 750 Massachusetts Avenue was the victim of an armed robber =- but that crime was not commited by the brothers, State Police now say.One minute later, however, authorities allege that the brothers did shoot and kill MIT Police Oficer Sean A. Collier as the officer sat in his MIT cruiser.Two minutes later, authorities receive a call that a car has been carjacked by two men outside 816y Memorial Drive. A short time later it was not immediately clear a Transit Police officer spots the vehicle and pursues, a chase that came to a stop in Watertown.In the moments that followed, 200 rounds were fired by police and apparently by the brothers. Police also recovered numerous pieces of evidence including evidence of homemade explosives, including pipe bombs and another pressure cooker, State Police said.Also, contrary to what Alben said earlier this afternoon, no potential explosives were found on Norfolk Street in Cambridge where the two brothers lived, and a planned controlled explosion was deemed unwarranted.We did not have to do the controlled detonation, State Police spokesman David Procopio wrote. We thought a car there might have an explosive but it did not.
Seriously now. How did white hat get away?
What was odd was they seemed to not want to continue the search for him after they found the car and wanted to wait until morning or something. I found it really weird at the time. Perhaps because they had to go on people's property and ring doorbells and things and it was after 4:00 am. And then they seemed to be diverting some resources responding to other instances of people being put in cuffs as suspects when they were not the guy. It really seemed like... once they found the vehicle, they decided to wait until morning before conducting a serious search for him.
Wasn't this because they were working on evacuating the area asap for safety? I didn't catch the whole timeline thing.
They were saying they wanted to wait until daylight. It really may have had to do with the fact that it was a residential area and they had to go onto/into people's property so they needed to wait until morning.

 
They werent involved in the robbery of the 7-11? They were just there at the same time as the robbery. What is this My Cousin Vinny?

The guy in the convenience store identified him by his nose- he said I could tell by his big nose it was him. Wonder if he can fix that :P

 
Just curious: has anyone on here ever cooked something in a pressure cooker? What do you need vast amounts of air pressure to cook?
Swedish fish take vast amounts of air pressure to cook.
Often times you would use one to shorten the cooking time on something that usually take a long time. Like a pork shoulder, beef chuck roast, etc.
Yes, I understand; the pressure raises the boiling point of the water causing the item to cook faster. Swedish fish are a ##### to cook.
 
Can't believe they were that hot for 7-11. How stupid...
Must have been desperate for cash.
I think the 7-11 was the location of a car-jacking....it is not clear that they actually robbed it.
this is all wrong. maybe instead of worrying about tea party comments made on page 4 you should follow the story?
Seriously. Every major media site you can think of has a timeline. It's weird that people think this thread is the best way to catch up.

The thread is awesome, but that's because there's lots of us watching lots of different networks and other outlets and we can post what they say in real time. If you want to know about stuff that happened more than 5 minutes ago, look elsewhere.
Trying to keep this thread as an update for those late to the party.

:thumbup: Great idea
So I was right about them not being involved in the robbery.

 
What I want to know is whether the brothers acted on their own or did they have accomplices. If it is the latter then someone will be helping White Hat.

I've seen enough TV shows to know that If he had accomplices, they aren't helping now. They'll put a bullet in his head if they see him.

If he's part of a terror cell, he's useless now.

So we have to save him before the bad guys kill him off?
