Boston Explosions.

[Touma]

FBI has released their photos and some videos.

But the FBI website is down. :\

Might have to refresh a few times for it to load.

Wearing a potentialy face obscurring baseball cap backwards while planting explosives in a CCTV area = too stupid to live.

SUSPECT #2

Pretty unmistakeable features

SUSPECT #1

Young, gaunt, dark hair. Wears shades; may need corrective lenses or contacts. What's with the earlobe?

I must say, they look younger, less healthy and less professional than the previous pix I posted (and apologize for -- Someone must have circulated them as a cruel joke, as they were taken after the blast).

I pray that these two get put out of circulation FAST.

News: it just has to be new not accurate. Forget 5 minutes of verification.

Here is a good

of the FBI announcement and photos. Thank God.

PS. I have been labelling "Suspect 1" and "Suspect 2" in reverse, before seeing the FBI video.

I hope this doesnt just make people stay home instead of attending public events. I remember standing near pretty big crowds in 2008 when your Queen paraded to Parliament for the opening.

Yep, I hope so too. People generally forget about events like these quickly, though, and get back to their daily business soon enough.

The "white cap" suspect in this

VIDEO

has a funny gait. It's not just that he's carrying the bag over one shoulder (instead of two, as in the "dark hat" suspect). Whitehat is bearing the load on the outside edge of his foot. If I did that, I would risk spraining my ankle. It may be that the "slung-over-the-shoulder" thing isn't just a "style". He may have one leg shorter than the other, or some hip or back problem.

Hard to say much about "Blackhat"'s gait. He keeps his feet parallel, not flat-footed or pigeontoed. His head juts forward, and he is flat-chested, showing straining against the load on his back.

Yeah that's pretty hilarious.

 

[BlandOatmeal]

Yeah that's pretty hilarious.

Not hillarious. Whitehat has a LOT of hair -- down to his shoulders, it seems. That may be what he was trying to cover up. Blackhat, by the way, didn't seem to swing his arms at all. From what I could see of his hair, it looked dark and wavy. What's that device on Darkhat's ear? Some sort of pink clip? Is it part of some sort of earphone? If so, I suspect another person (a spotter?) was in communication with them.

DEBKA adds,

"The way they walk behind each other as they pass through crowds without losing contact strongly recalls the formation maintained by the suicide bombers who blew up the London Tube train on July 7, 2007"

It also recalls the formation of anybody who's ever walked through a crowd with someone else.

Crazy that to be true.

EXCELLENT COVERAGE OF THE BLAST, INCLUDING MAP

One of the injured had a clear look at Suspect #2 (Blackhat)

 

[Touma]

Supposedly they have one suspect in custody. There was a nasty firefight at MIT and then in a suburb of Boston. There were some explosives uses. Officials trying to determine if this was related to the bombings.


This is, of course, preliminary, and may change.

They killed one suspect in the bombing. The other one is at large.

They killed a cop, robbed a stored, hijacked a car, and were throwing bombs from it.

Watertown is literally across the street from me. So much for sleep.

 

[Touma]

Pete Williams reports these men came here a year ago, and had foreign military training.

CRAP.

Wow, that it's very lively over there. I hope the police catch/kill the men before they can harm any civilians.

 

[Touma]

From the doctors: Suspect one was shot multiple times(couldn't even count how many shots there were), also wounds from possible explosive device (shrapnel, blast wound)

CRAP.

Everything I've read said they've been in the states for about a decade. The overseas military training is still in question.

 

[Blackwater Babe]

So who are they? I assume Reddit probably has their full biographies, from pre-natal ultrasounds onward, by now...
