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

MIT has cancelled our classes for today. There's no rumor of any more shit going wrong on campus, it seems mainly like a mix of respect for the deceased and from sympathy for the emotional turmoil. The email mentions a possible memorial service later after the institute president's plane gets in.


I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyway, had too much to get done, but those of us who are still up have been obsessively watching the internet and I've barely gotten anywhere. I guess that lack of productivity doesn't really hurt me given the circumstances......
 
If they are a "terror cell", they are really bad at it.
I was just thinking that this seems messy for a terror cell with military training.

I mean in the world we live in right now it could be fucking anything, and I'm certainly not an expert on terrorists, so obviously it could turn out to be true. But I'll definitely be surprised if that's the case.
 
So after the bombing, they guys see their photos out there and just start to fuck things off?

Jeesus, maybe it would have been better if they didn't released the photos and worked on finding them?
 
No. He is a LEO based in the Chicago. And I won't go into more detail than that. People can probably read between the lines.

Nothing to read other than your friend happens to work in law enforcement. Stop pretending to have inside information.

they verified the names earlier.

they're not saying their names to not give them any fame. theres no need to bring up the names again until they actually catch this guy.

You were the only one I saw saying they said the names at the beginning of the conference. No one else seemed to hear it.
 
Might as well just post this since I had part of it copied for someone who asked and we're at the top of the page:

THESE ARE THE MARATHON BOMBING SUSPECTS

If you were watching CNN:


This was the DA statement and press conference earlier, may be off a little, but is generally what I heard across all sources:


EDIT: Probably better than me:

The 7-11 robbery is what led to the MIT cop being killed.

They were supposedly trying to plant devices on campus. I imagine they want to search everywhere.
 
They look like undergrads, it's highly unlikely they were "trained overseas"

Doesnt have to mean a national millitary. There aren't age requirements to getting millitary training. The mumbai guys were in their early twenties and were trained by ISI. Not saying these aholes are pakistanis im just talking about the age being some of barrier to millitary training.

He can understand police procedure in a way I can't. So he translates for me and I posted it.

The email's statement to employees was something to the effect of "use your own judgement, if you choose to stay home it will be excused." That didn't really sound like "campus is closed, 5000 bomb sniffing dogs inbound."

The death toll may be low, but they have injured a lot of people. And it's a miracle that more people didn't die at the marathon.

Use Google for what? To confirm that people are speculating? There has been no confirmation of the Sunil name.
 
Staying with this for the last 3 hours, crazy, after 9/11 I realized stuff like this was possible, but trying to plant bombs across an entire town?? Unbelievable. My thoughts and prayers go everyone in Watertown, Boston, MIT, and anyone else affected.
