WHOA

Having Snooki as your prom date would send anyone over the edge I guess.
 
Eh I'm pretty sure he was just "pronounced dead" at the hospital. I'm sure he died when he was shot a billion times, blew himself up, and then run over. If he survived all that, a 20 minute car ride wasn't going to kill him.

I believe the doctors said that he was pronounced dead about 10 or 15 minutes after he was brought to the hospital.
 
Uh I have train tickets from South Station to CT for later today. That's not happening, is it?
 
For those catching up: Suspect 1 (Black hat) had a trigger on him for his suicide vest that was not utilised. He died by getting run over, then shot, then HIS BROTHER RAN OVER HIM AS HE ESCAPED.

This has to be more than just these guys, right?? I mean, where the hell do two young brother get all this shit? I get the homemade bombs, but ARs....suicide vests....
 
All of them.

CNN has the closest reporters to the various scenes.
FOX has the best video footage.
NBC has the best sources.

At least that's the way I've seen it thus far.

And NBC doesn't seem to be stumbling over themselves to look like absolute fools.

And no footage seems to be live currently.

No idea on the long weapons they had, but if one guy was studying to be an engineer, he easily could've made his own "suicide vest." Just use a regular weight vest and duct tape some explosives to it.

The most recent info indicates 2 bombers (the brothers), but anywhere from 2-4 other accomplices.
 
This is an incredibly pedestrian question, but how the hell am i supposed to take out a dog if we are on lockdown. Poor thing is going nuts.
They'll approach but if you just say "letting the dog shit" and your arms up I'm sure they'll just hang out. Maybe make a sign "DOG EVACUATING BOWELS" or whatever.

My advice is not legal advice, please contact an attorney if filled with lead, etc.
 
Can anyone give me a quick rundown or point me to a link explaining how these guys were found in the first place?

Everyone is starting with the 7-11, but if you're talking about how they were identified, Boston is full of street level surveillance cameras. I believe they identified them as they were shown before the explosions with backpacks, and they were (at least white hat guy, the alive one now) shown leaving the scene without them. I am unsure if they also had direct footage of then dropping off the backpacks. I know there was one shot of the white hat guy without the backpack in the background of the crowd by the finish line, with the backpack clearly visible on the ground in the crowd. There was a news conference last night that released the footage.
 
Heard something about the suspect heading for New York..? Is there any truth to that or was it just nonsense?

There was something about a suspect heading to Manhattan. I doubt anyone would have that much specific knowledge so that makes me think it's fake.
