Boston: One dead, one captured, city re-opened

CBS News is saying that they built a bomb just like the one they used at the Boston Marathon and threw it at police last night, but it didn't explode as intended. Also built several pipe bombs. They were definitely planning something else.
Well, that would answer the question of why they didn't just get on the first flight out of Boston.
 
If this was 5 hours ago this scanner activity (with window opening on roof, suspicious vehicle) would have been a big deal. There is so much of this though that I just assume its nothing.

Off topic but this guy looks fucking awesome. Fantastic picture.
 
local CBS station had video footage of the 2 suspects Dad, back in Russia. Translation is similar to the aunt. Feeling like they were setup, the family's never picked up "arms", escaped the country when war broke out.
 
Free food and being allowed to wander the streets armed. Fuck I might toss an application to my local SWAT team.

I was going to try to do this a while back....I think you have to serve a certain amount of time on patrol duty before you go to SWAT.....fuck that.

Then again, it might depend on the department.
 
We don't know how quickly the FBI found out who the suspects most likely were. They delayed giving info to the public. I don't think they could have gotten out of the country unless they literally boarded a flight right after the marathon.

Chances are they waited at the airports for movement. When that didn't happen, they released the images. Of course, if the suspects had a flight scheduled on Monday, I'm sure they would've gotten out scot free.
 
Or 495, which avoids a lot of the already higher than average traffic on a Friday afternoon. It adds about 10-15 minutes of drive time but cuts out all the traffic hassle.
There's zero traffic on the highways. No one went to work, and if they did they got sent home.
 
I doubt they'll assume he's dead if they dont find him within 48 hours.
I am talking about if they had 0 leads and 0 sightings. I assume from whats been going on lately they have had sightings and information so i doubt hes dead in a gutter somewhere.

But who knows.
 
Thanks for posting. Honestly it's a shame we never got a picture like this of Osama Bin Laden. The American public deserves to see these things to give proper closure.

Picture didn't give me closure. Made me sad to see someone lifeless because he had misguided hate in his heart. Made me wonder why any of this had to happen. Picture saddened me greatly.
 
Well, that would answer the question of why they didn't just get on the first flight out of Boston.

Yeah they're describing their residence as a "bomb making factory" and the things they designed were old school types of bombs that can be made using online resources for directions and the materials don't cause suspicion.
 
Can someon give cliffs of the las 9 hours or so. Last thing I read one suspect got sho and ran over. Suspect 2 escaped and they still weren't sure about motives or country of origin.
