Support NeoGAF

[Joel Was Right]

They are so hoping for Muslim terrorists to rile up their base.

Their reasoning for military training right now seems to be that these two men had access to a lot of weapons and have averted capture as of yet

 

[Coldsnap]

Those bros look tired.

 

[DiscoJer]

Channel 5 just confirmed "blast wounds" to the "trunk" of Suspect #1

The hospital gave a press conference about an hour or so ago about it.

 

[FalconSabre]

Two more houses with wide-open doors. [scanner]

Is this guy just going from house to house looking for ammunition or something? I can't logically think why he'd move from house to house when they are on him.

 

[Ashes]

I am baffled that all other threads on GAF aren't dead. Why isn't everyone in here following this crazy shit?!

to take a break from it all?

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Junior 1 has been terminated, authorities are now searching for Junior 2

This made me laugh so hard. Thank you sir.

Psssst... what about Junior 2's uncle?

 

[Treythalomew]

To be fair, didn't they just shut down all public transit?

Yeah a dude trying to hitchhike doesn't sound surprising to me. Probably a dude trying to get to his job because his boss isn't going to take an excuse. Anything is possible.

 

[JoseOle5990]

This is just a misinterpretation if what was said at the last conference.

I'm pretty sure that's what Doc Schoenfield(?) said at that presser, but my memory is kinda hazy.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Why is this guy from the hospital calling into CNN if he's got no info. What exactly are they thinking?

 

[Liberty4all]

ugh 6 AM. I have to get some sleep, phone interview at 2 PM.

But I feel like this is history happening right now

 

[EmCeeGramr]

i hope the hitchhiker is sunil returning to his home after a long road trip

 

[Persona7]

SLEEP TIME

 

[I'm new be nice]

To be fair, they just shut down all public transit.

I'm sure there are people who didn't check the news.

 

[lenovox1]

White hat dude has to be exhausted. He was up all day monitoring the developments I'm sure, then the MIT situation, then the chase...

Adrenalin is a funny thing; I know I'm running off it.

Wii U is dead/not dead, dood. That topic is important and exciting!

 

[Jokab]

Some people just don't care I guess? Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Mr. F]

Hearing about houses with their doors just wide open like that is really eerie.

 

[Black Mamba]

charliespiering: Police ran over first suspect, reports NBC, as he was wearing an IED.

Must have felt good.

 

[Sketch_Turntable]

Why are ther so many houses with open doors???

 

[Skab]

Is this guy just going from house to house looking for ammunition or something? I can't logically think why he'd move from house to house when they are on him.

Maybe to slow the police up? If the PD sees an open door, they're going to have to check it out. More time for him to get away/come up with a plan/set more bombs.

 

[mnz]

Oh shit, I just realized my wife's Uncle is a security guard at MIT. Was is an MIT officer that was killed or security? I can't find anything. I hope he wasn't involved.

Police called him "MIT Police", if I remember correctly.

 

[Jburton]

Sound like they are getting ready to start their sweep.

 

[Jintor]

Oh man, the residents around the areas on the streets were basically awake in their basements all night trapped in their houses ==;;

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

But I feel like this is history happening right now

Precisely why I'm still up. Gonna cozy up to Soul Sacrifice now, but I'll be constantly checking back here.

 

[DiscoJer]

Why is this guy from the hospital calling into CNN if he's got no info. What exactly are they thinking?

I'm on CNN? Some people just like to be on the news.

 

[TCRS]

Why are ther so many houses with open doors???

where are you guys hearing/watching that?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Must have felt good.

That doesn't seem smart at all though.

 

[Realyn]

I am baffled that all other threads on GAF aren't dead. Why isn't everyone in here following this crazy shit?!

Because not everyone lives in the USA and they might simply not care.

 

[FStop7]

I bet the hitchhiker is Naked Guy just trying to get the fuck out of dodge after his 3 hours of captivity and torture at the hands of Wolf goddamn Blitzer.

edited that, thanks for the catch

 

[GavinGT]

I'm sure there are people who didn't check the news.

I envision him walking outside and it being like the scene from Shaun of the Dead, where he's just oblivious to all the zombies everywhere.

 

[outunderthestars]

I'm sure there are people who didn't check the news.

This. I don't check the news before leaving in the morning on most days...

 

[Black Mamba]

Matthew Keys ‏@TheMatthewKeys 42s
NBC Pete Williams: FBI has video of Suspect 2 planting Boston Marathon bomb at second location

Matthew Keys ‏@TheMatthewKeys 21s
NBC Pete Williams: In video, Suspect 2 walks into crowd, takes backpack off, walks out of crowd, first bomb detonates, Suspect 2 walks away

Wow, video of it!

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

So, this is a thing: @UnluckyNakedGuy.

[MaxwellGT2000]

I can't see the suspect carrying round a phone to pick it up via 3G. It'd be an FBI wet dream if he were that stupid.

Hahaha quote for truth, man if he did that he'd be so toast, there's a reason if it is Sunil he left his personal belongings including his phone.

 

[XxBlackHulkxX]

Wii U is dead/not dead, dood. That topic is important and exciting!

Yeah that and I heard the next box is always online.

 

[Freezie KO]

Wii U is dead/not dead, dood. That topic is important and exciting!

At least with Wii U, we can be assured that there isn't a third party.

 

[I'm new be nice]

Adrenalin is a funny thing; I know I'm running off it.

Just sitting here is pumping me up like a good rail...

 

[Globox_82]

Saw a couple more asking and since we're after 6am decided I might as well dump this out truncated one more time:

THESE ARE THE MARATHON BOMBING SUSPECTS

Better summary:



This was the DA statement and press conference earlier, may be off since I just jotted it down, but is generally what I heard across those sources:


MIT classes cancelled. MIT says he sacrified to save the campus.

Police are waiting for daylight to do a house to house sweep of a 20 block area they have sectioned off.

man on this picture doesn't look white (european).imo

 

[TheKaeptain]

Okay I'm tapping out. Got to sleep. I have to be in the editing room on campus in 5 hours.

 

[Fusebox]

Channel 7. "People 'scrambling' out of their houses after 'cowering' for hours."

I just see people walking out of their house.

Guess they gotta maintain tension somehow after 2 hours of no gunshots.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Psssst... what about Junior 2's uncle?

He was smiling, and holding a remote in his hands...PM a mod if you have additional photos.

 

[Persona7]

At least with Wii U, we can be assured that there isn't a third party.

lol

 

[Devolution]

Said it before and I'll say it again, it's the early morning you're going to get people going to work, jogging, walking the dog or cycling completely unaware of what's going on.

 

[MThanded]

Wow, video of it!

We heard this earlier today. Not new info

 

[Lombaszko]

Police called him "MIT Police", if I remember correctly.

Ok, thanks.

 

[BuggyDClown]

Yeah. Most of the world doesnt know hats happening.

 

[Uhyve]

WCVB just reported that 10-12 police cars just sped out of the control area (edit: Command area? I missed what they called it).

 

[xbhaskarx]

What's amazing is that even with one suspect dead and in the hands of authorities, we still don't know if these guys are foreign terrorists (Islamic or otherwise), domestic terrorists (right-wing or otherwise), or some sort of Columbine-style duo. So much information, but still no answer to that crucial question...

At least with Wii U, we can be assured that there isn't a third party.

Holy shit.
