Sometimes certain shit matters more.
The 9/11 and Bojinka folks spent a lot of time in strip clubs.

good god, how do people get actual information from this scanner. Sounds like everyone is underwater.

It was a lot more active in the middle of the night when the police were first responders.
There was a guy that survived the Hiroshima blast... made his way to Nagasaki in time to survive that attack.
Yup, they're on commercials right now though.
I hate to say it, but probably FOX:

A crazy fact is that the first suspect was treated for injuries sustained in his gun fight at Mass General Hospital. Keep in mind, Mass General currently has 12 of the alleged suspect's victims in the same hospital, recovering from Monday's attacks.

Dzokhar Tsarnaev on the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School's wrestling team.
Classmates of the younger Boston Marathon bomber were horrified Friday to wake up to the news that their mild-mannered schoolmate had been identified as the culprit behind one of the largest-scale terrorist attacks on American soil in recent history.
Dzokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is, as of this writing, still at large; his older brother Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police on Thursday night in Watertown, Mass. after the brothers killed an officer on the MIT campus.
People who attended the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School with Dzokhar, whom they called Jahar because Dzokhar was too difficult to pronounce, say they never would have expected such a thing.
"I saw the pictures last night and thought it looked kind of like him," said Rebecca Mazur, who was in Tsarnaev's class at school and is now studying at Harvard. "But I felt mean even thinking that the person in the photos looked like him."
"It's such a huge shock," Mazur said. "He was such a sweet sort of quiet guy."
But Tsarnaev wasn't a loner.
"I think he seemed to keep to himself in that he was kind of reserved, but his demeanor was always friendly and he would show up at the big social gatherings," Mazur said. "He was a familiar part of the community, he didn't isolate himself."
"I went on Facebook and so far have been reading Facebook status after Facebook status of people who are feeling shocked and betrayed," Mazur said.
"I didn't know Jahar extremely well but he was literally among the sweetest, most laid back guys I've ever known," said another student at Harvard who went to Cambridge Rindge and Latin and spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Always friendly and welcoming, I always felt comfortable hanging out with him."
Tsarnaev seemed even-keeled up until recently, the student said.
"In fact, as recently as November I played pick up basketball with him and he seemed like he was doing great at UMASS Dartmouth," the student said. "I don't know what changed since then but evidently it was something pretty big."
"We were friends," said Sam Greenberg, a Harvard junior who also went to Rindge. "We would say hi to each other and occasionally chat. We mostly interacted because he was on the wrestling team and so we would just hang out after school. And I was on the track team."
Tsarnaev worked shifts at Harvard's Blodgett Pool, said one person who knew him.
"I can confirm that he was a Harvard lifeguard, especially now that I'm seeing close up pictures of him," said Ryan Galuski, head lifeguard at the pool. "He seemed very friendly, nothing that would indicate he was a weirdo or anything. He started working with us two summers ago, right after he graduated from high school."
"This most recent summer, he was only there for a few weeks until [he] was let go because he wasn't showing up for shifts," Galuski said.
Tsarnaev received a $2,500 scholarship to attend Rindge, a school with a prestigious reputation in the Boston area, and was listed as an "all-star" wrestler in 2011.
He and his family lived in Cambridge since 2002 or 2003, when authorities think they emigrated to the United States. Dzokhar was born in Kyrgyzstan and his brother Tamerlan was born in Russia, but the family are ethnic Chechens.
Dzokhar, who ran over his own brother in a rush to escape police on Thursday night and whose flight has caused the entire city of Boston and surrounding towns to be locked down, was remembered fondly on Friday by radio host Robin Young in a series of tweets.
"Heart is broken," Young tweeted. "Just confirmed, I know dzhokhar tsarnave [sic], one of best freinds of my beloved nephew, who says he never in his life saw this."
"He came to the prom party we had. beautiful boy," Young continued. "Remember djohar well, beautiful boy in tux at prom party and elsewhere."
You missed A LOT!

The whole time I was driving into work, I kept thinking, "I need to get on GAF because I bet this radio report is like a half hour behind."
I was right.
I was right.
haha. Basically. Kinda cool though, I never listen to police scanners.
GAF is making history for me right now.
Fake Edit: My feed just dropped, hopefully it'll resume in 40 seconds
Edit: Had to click "play" again and now it works
arty:if you listen long enough you become one with the scanner.
Does it worry anyone else just how much exposure this guy has gotten? Its kind of a catch 22, they need to show his face, they need to expose him to catch him but on the other hand just like with the school shootings giving these guys the exposure has the potential to inspire other crazies.

What a crazy situation. City on lockdown, this is real life.
For once, calling the suspects 'caucasian' would be technically correct
I thought they shot the shit out of him, and a bomb was detonated on him
He was still alive after all that?

Damn, local stations are saying he was enrolled or possibly attending UMass Dartmouth and might have been spotted on campus within the past week. Live like 15 minutes away and used to work around there.

Shit where is ustream
Truly. I especially liked how everyone had already deemed some poor innocent schmuck to be one of the terrorists behind the Boston bombings.

The third week of April is always bad news for America. We should just cancel it from here on out.
What? So is the White Hat guy in the house or is he in the Gray SUV? What the hell is going on?

Vehicle located. The one they think he might have been using. Hard to tell through the scanner.
That is a crazy story. Good on them for looking at it the right way - don't be scared you're unlucky enough to have it happen to you twice, be greatful that you're lucky enough to have gone through both events unscathed.
The earlier direct feeds were cleaner, the one on ustream is pretty muffled for some reason.

He was reportedly alive until 1:30am this morning, when he died at the hospital. WBUR (NPR) reported that this morning when I was driving in.
Only a matter of time.. Al Jazeera is good too: http://www.zahipedia.info/2009/07/06/watch-online-al-jazeera-english-live-tv-free/

Fascinating, really. We're on GAF all over the world and we can hear what's going down.

Suspect 1 was shot to shit, possibly blew himself up with a suicide vest, then was run over by Suspect 2 as he escaped. Since then it's been a wild goose chase. Every hoodie-wearing twenty-something in the county has been crash tackled and interrogated by police, siege has been laid to empty buildings, Suspect 2 remains at large.

Far out. I'm trying to figure out what this will mean for racial profiling in America.

They tried to bomb MIT and rob a 7-11 is what it sounds like. Check the OP?
