Explosion Boston Marathon #2

[solvinit]

OMG what does this mean?

BOSTON: CODE RED INSIDE BOSTON FEDERAL COURT HOUSE, COURT HOUSE AND BRIGHAM HOSPITAL BEING EVACUATED. MCI DECLARED! #911BUFF

MCI - Mass Casualty Incident

What is the source for this??

 

[cityslick]

Media needs to start being more careful with announcements of suspects in custody, arrests, arraignments, etc. something really ugly is going to happen with all these crowds forming waiting in places to see the suspect.

CNN seems to be the worst of these. There was actually a period of time where they had conflicting stories on their homepage, breaking news said no arrest but the main headline said arrest made.

From a parody account.

BOSTON: CNN urges the FBI to ‘check their sources’ before contradicting news reports.

I zoomed in on this guy as soon as I started looking for someone who fit the description. But it's like a needle in a haystack.

I think some of these news sources are so wanting to scoop everyone else,they jump the gun.

This whole "bomb threat" is beyond stupid! I mean, how on earth - especially right now - would someone get a bomb anywhere NEAR any courthouse let alone this courthouse!

I mean, it would be best to "laugh it off" and not give them any credit. But if LE did that, and something happened, they would never be forgiven!!

The money to roll out this type of response costs us money that we don't have!!

KNOCK IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the possibility that they have identified him, went to his residence to arrest him, and he has left information that led to the evacuations? He is obviously very dangerous.

I saw him, too.... but couldn't zoom in enough to see if that green/orange was on his hoodie. Now I see it is the other guy's hat.


I found another guy, but he is on the wrong side of the finish line.

Nope. Car spotted with multiple gas cans at the hospital, bomb threat at the Courthouse.

Federal courthouse in South Boston evacuated:

Is South Boston courthouse a different courthouse than Moakley?

As an aside, there is a 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT) press conference at The Westin.

That was my initial thought as well.

After the Oklahoma City bombing, the government building I worked at, way down here in small town Florida got bomb threats for days. We knew it was a hoax but it couldn't be left to chance. There are many sickos out there that get their kicks out of pulling garbage like this. They are pathetic excuses for humans imo.

 

[jnTexas]

Even if they have identified someone. He/she/they could be anywhere in the world by now. Who's to say they stuck around in Boston

 

[corundogs]

Dangit...I need to jump in the shower before the Jodi Arias trial comes back...LOL!!! Bad timing of this bomb threat, I will say! (hahahaha!)

I guess it's possible the threat could have been from his residence actually.
The hospital could be totally separate... and the courthouse could be a threat from the suspect.
More likely it's just a stupid person who thinks it's funny.

 

[Moe]

No one is under arrest, but they could be being interogated right now. How and what this person is charged with could be tricky.

RT @joespurr: Coast guard helicopter moves in. Crowd being ordered 100 yards away from building

 

[T4Tide]

They just said on that live stream video that the suspect was seen on the survelliance camera looking down and using his cellphone while the first bomb was detonated. Then, he backed up, and walked the other way, and used his cellphone again? I can't remember what the reporter said word for word.

 

[corundogs]

These reporters sound silly.

They think it's weird about the LE presence 2 days after a major boming right down the road?

Seriously????????????????????????
