Explosions at Boston Marathon - Page 15

Groundhog · 04-19-2013, 06:43 PM

Have to say, love the reporting we're getting right now... interviewing a local resident who's friend is a cop and was just on the phone with him... Says he's in a backyard in someone's boat, has been shot.

Supposedly the first guy had a triggered explosive on him, why take any chances?

Buccaneer · 04-19-2013, 06:44 PM

I would think they have a huge advantage now with all of the firepower in the neighborhood.

bob · 04-19-2013, 06:45 PM

Guessing they are taking it slow so he doesn't kill anyone else or himself. They want him alive

mauchow · 04-19-2013, 06:52 PM

Holy crap...

cuervo72 · 04-19-2013, 07:06 PM

Heh, Brian Williams isn't all that keen on Google street view.

cmp · 04-19-2013, 07:09 PM

This thing has just been unreal to follow. I've had the scanner up all day.

molson · 04-19-2013, 07:11 PM

Best idea I read was to "dump a bag of spiders in that boat". I don't know if police have bags of spiders readily available, but that might get him out if he's alive.

cmp · 04-19-2013, 07:12 PM

I hope they get this guy out alive. Seems like they are doing everything to make sure that happens.

QuikSand · 04-19-2013, 07:13 PM

NBC reporting a fire in the boat...

Drake · 04-19-2013, 07:17 PM

This whole thing is going to end up in some terrorist network "how not to do it" training video.

Seriously. This guy is so not getting his virgins in the afterlife.

Depends on the purpose I guess. Shut down (locked down) a major American city on a Friday. Got 24 hour news coverage. Economic and emotional losses pretty big

Senator · 04-19-2013, 07:32 PM

"Don't shoot, 6400 armed officers and military, we want him alive!"

"Sorry boss, I'm writing a GD book after this. I didn't sit here eating snacks all day not to unload my weapon on something."

QuikSand · 04-19-2013, 07:32 PM

NBC seems to have backed down to "possible fire" - ugh.

Step 1. When bomb go "boom," run.

dave731 · 04-19-2013, 07:33 PM

Can somebody please answer the question how we (the U.S.) can interview someone on their ties to extremist terrorists in 2010...let them leave the country in 2012...they return 6 months later with the training needed to do this crap...and not have a clue this was a possibility?

The guy has to be on a list...the leaving the country should have been a red flag...coming back should have been another red flag.

jeff061 · 04-19-2013, 07:37 PM

Everyones on a list these days

molson · 04-19-2013, 07:40 PM

I'm sure we'll get all the details down the road, but ya, having a guy on a list doesn't stop anyone from doing anything except flying.

dave731 · 04-19-2013, 07:40 PM

The father saying they were framed is comical. I have an image of these 2 rolling down the road as cops chase them tossing dynamite out the window yelling "We were framed Dad!"

cmp · 04-19-2013, 07:42 PM

Suspect in custody is what I'm hearing on the scanner.

molson · 04-19-2013, 07:42 PM

I'd love to hear the call that homeowner makes to the insurance company on Monday.

Ambulance is leaving. Blood was on the boat and that's what lead them to there.

molson · 04-19-2013, 07:51 PM

It's amazing they got him alive (if he lives).

bob · 04-19-2013, 07:51 PM

Thankfully this kind of stuff doesn't happen much, but when it does, do neighboring cities / states lend cops to ensure that while the area cops are doing manhunts and such, petty crime isn't rampant everywhere else in the city?

wade moore · 04-19-2013, 07:52 PM

"Alive with unspecified medical needs."

That's what CNN says a federal official is saying..

They're still covering the whole city, they're just spread a lot more thin. Response times would be slower for anything, but they'll still have coverage.

Logan · 04-19-2013, 07:54 PM

Awesome job.

Ronnie Dobbs3 · 04-19-2013, 07:57 PM

Everyone did such an amazing job. So proud of all the workers. But I feel that the politicians more than did their job. And I'm not usually a huge fan of the Governor, but he and Menino were stellar throughout this.

molson · 04-19-2013, 08:00 PM

There are officers who have been working since last night and earlier, maybe with a short break in the middle. What do you do when you get home? Have a beer? Check facebook? Damn.

spleen1015 · 04-19-2013, 08:01 PM

They're all going out and getting smashed.

I can imagine the interrogator that gets to work on him though.

mauchow · 04-19-2013, 08:14 PM

I think I need to listen to ameeica fuck yeah now.. change words to boston fuck yeah.

I really hope there aren't more involved but its hard to believe there wouldn't be.

Buccaneer · 04-19-2013, 08:15 PM

I don't ever listen to the news but I now know why Mrs. Bucc watched CBS News. The anchor seems very professional, knows how to listen and not give in to hyperbole. From what I hear second-hand about cable news talking heads (CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc.), I'm glad to hear there are real news presenters left as oppose to shrill tabloiders.

chadritt · 04-19-2013, 08:16 PM

Once Anderson Cooper came on CNN seemed a LOT more professional.

molson · 04-19-2013, 08:18 PM

I love Pelly's work. He's professional and tough. He did some great work on 60 Minutes.

It's weird to read those. He seems like just an average kid and then there are these random serious tweets.
