Explosion Boston Marathon #2

[gia2]

I didn't mean that there was anything unnatural, just that I thought it was odd that there are some people who react instantly, whether it be flight or fight, and other's don't appear to react at all. I've never been in a situation like that, so I have no idea at all how I would react. For all I know, I'd be the one just standing there.

I didn't mean it to sound critical I was more continuing along the same thought line I don't think I'd jump to action, I think I'd be totally overwhelmed. I can't even look at the images on my computer screen!

Local station says arrest probably has already been made....one male suspect...

The breakthrough came through analysis of surveillance video from the Lord and Taylor store in Copley Square. King said his sources said the video is said to be so clear they can see the suspect’s face

Excellent! I hope this is the guy, or one of the guys if more than one. I hope they find any and everyone involved.

I have seen some good video cams from stores, and believe it or not, the smaller banks have the best systems. Not the larger ones. Businesses should never scrimp or save on surveillance cams and systems, small or large.

You can see the perp's face in some as clear as if they sitting next to you. Hope this is what they have.

I wouldn't be surprised if the alleged bomber(s) lives close to the area.

This is the part I want to know. It seems it blasted straight out the sides from all the harm done. However, a lid was found on a roof.

So, how did it blow? I guess out and up. From the footage it seems to have blasted a bit up, and out on one side, the side facing the street.

I obviously know nothing about how bombs work.

I believe the lid found on the roof was from the second bomb site. The backpack piece and the other official photographs all seem like they are from the same place, and the backpack piece was at the second site.

I think the same thing.

wow, I am so thankful to see the progress made. I hope they get this guy quick!

why does CNN keep showing the video with the paper bag when LE believe they have video of the alleged perp dropping a black backpack?

It's probably the only picture of the location they have.

I'm darker than most of these "brown-skinned individuals" in the pics.

I'm confused. Is there a suspect yet, or isn't there.

It was on the morning news too. I was getting angry b/c they simply pulled it from the net and were saying there is some speculation but no one knows or has been told exactly where the bombs were or if the bag was related.

The lady with the cell didn't bother me. Some people immediately go into "get the job done" mode in an emergency. Most likely calling 911. Then the shock comes later.

The others with blank faces may be in shock already, just stunned.

i'm thinking it's less that she's calling 911 and more like her eardrum(s) ruptured.

Great news on possible ID of bomber. Let's pray he is quickly apprehended.

It's the wacky world of breaking news: some say there is, some say there ain't.

Presser later this afternoon may shed light. Or it may not.

Welsh or Native American? Wow...that would be something different! If that is true then I wonder what their cause was.

I took it as he was jokingly profiling himself.

I am watching the local news and a reporter called in and has very solid LE source that said they have clear pictures of the persons face....and an arrest is imminent if not already done....

They have been very good about not reporting on things until they have been verified.....imo....so I hope that that information would be correct...

 

[Celt1997]

Anybody know if Boston has one of those sites that shows people who have been recently apprehended/booked? I know in other cases there were websites that other sleuthers used to see if an arrest had been made.
