And the 7-11 apparently, I laughed at that report as well.

I saw 5 black hawk helicopters flying over my house! In New York, they were obviously headed towards Watertown. This was like a half hour ago, so they're still sending people. Damn it must be insane there.

Wow, smart idea Dad. I heard that angel thing this morning, guess he flew away on his wings and that's why no one can find him. That angel killed the MIT officer while he was in his cruiser on traffic duty. He was possibly found dead in the cruiser with his weapon still completely in his holster, according to WBZ. Allegedly killed him, of course. Or the brother did and he just watched, cause he's an angel.

So yeah, White House Situtation room has been ACTIVATED not evactuated.. Apparently someone at Fox 25 news got a bit confused.

One thing for certain
Dick Cheney is hiding in an underground bunker somewhere.

Report was he was shot in the head.

Father claims its some kind of frame job from report just on WBZ, both sons innocent.

What does 'Being it on' mean?

[PennyLanePHINS]

Could something bigger be going on? I mean, this is massive. Might they think there could be more than these two, some larger plot?

Black hawk/military helicopters...they don't send those for no reason. The last time I saw so many military helicopters flying by was on and after 9/11.

Biden is ready to get to work, though.

That's what I was wondering too.

As this is all going on, it's just so hard to believe that an entire city can be on lockdown because of one lunatic.

Do the maths

911 > 415

Really
The guy has pressure cooker bombs

That's not enough?????

[PennyLanePHINS]

I know, I mean in terms of why/how it happened. They might feel there could be more accomplices. Or they could just be taking extra precautions just to be safe.

They did find another bomb in Boston today, and diffused it.

[GirlsAloudFan]

Man, I feel awful for the Tripathi family. I bought into that whole thing last night. Countless other people did, too.

I'm going to stop reading the internet.

 

I'm not really going to stop reading the internet. But it would be nice.

I'm sure they are operating at least under the assumptiuon that there could be others involved or at least helping the brothers. These guys had assault weapons, grenades and other explosives on them last night when this went down, so obviously they are taking every precaution cause even if this kid is alone he appears to be heavily armed and last seen in a residential neighborhood, so there's concern over more casualties.

Certainly the reports of what these 2 had sounds like more than just 2 disgruntled brothers acting out, hopefully we'll find out if there is a larger group involved.
