Boston Marathon Bombing

[Phil Fiord]

Well, for my part I am in a couple 4c threads and monitoring. I created an imgur for things that are seeming good. I cannot take credit for what others did there.

[Phil Fiord]

Another find. Not mine to take credit for.

White hat guy about center in this behind the barrier crowd line.

Both you and Mal in your sleuthing groups are doing the heavy lifting for the FBI and Janet Napolitano.

A marked up and enhanced copy of the prior image. The bag drop may be in that circle. Also, the boy who died is pointed out here. He apparently was skirted away to escape this scene and bomb two got him from what I read.

[Phil Fiord]

A compare of Sunil and the perp. Seems very close to me and probably correct.

[Phil Fiord]

Creepily enough this was actually posted several days ago and then today as you see, legislation has been introduced about gun power.

A likely next find of white hat

More general stuff. Posting here but please move to the other thread.

Hooters Bomb Threat Shuts Down Hollywood Boulevard

6:11 PM PDT 4/18/2013 by Sophie Schillaci, Kimberly Nordyke


A man claiming to have an explosive in his lunch box drew police response near the Chinese Theatre on Thursday afternoon.

A stretch of Hollywood Boulevard is shut down after a man notified the Los Angeles Police Department that he had brought a lunch box containing a bomb inside the Hooters restaurant located across from the Chinese Theatre.

The stretch of road between Orange and Highland remains closed at this time as police evaluate the situation.


The call was received around 4:45 p.m. PT, though it is not clear whether the suspect remains inside the restaurant.
"He indicated he went into the restaurant and said he had a lunch pail, and in there was a bomb,” a spokesperson for the LAPD tells The Hollywood Reporter. “He left that behind and from there, everybody scrambled and called the police."
Businesses in the area have since been evacuated.
A suspect has not yet been arrested.
The news comes two days after a bomb threat at Hollywood-based news station KTLA turned out to be a hoax.

Hey Bryk,

It was a screen cap from the 4chan imgur account a few days ago when they had culled together that blue jacket and his buddy were the bad guys. This was before the FBI released the stuff tonight of course. It is a legit screen cap from that day as I was witness to it being in the imgur account photos that night.

Thanks but I cannot take credit for culling together others work. Just bringing the finds from some good and more unseemly places, but linking via a imgur I created with an alt email I use for spam.

WATERTOWN — One suspect in Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings has been captured, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation. Another remains on the loose in Watertown after a firefight with police. Authorities have established a 20-block perimeter as they search for him.


A scene of chaos descended on Cambridge and Watertown late Thursday night and early Friday morning, as police confirmed an MIT police officer was shot and killed, and an apparent carjacking led police on a wild chase into Watertown.


Witnesses in Watertown said they heard explosions. Police officers were screaming about improvised explosive devices.


Authorities would not comment on whether the events were connected to Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings. At least one of the suspects in Watertown appeared to be a man in his 20s.
FBI agents were on the scene in Watertown.


“We are aware of the situation, we are being involved, and we are monitoring,” said an FBI representative who requested anonymity because of not being authorized to speak publicly. The FBI source said early Friday it is “too early to speculate” on a relation to the Marathon bombing.


Dozens of police officers descended on Watertown Square after midnight.


“This is still extremely dangerous,” an FBI agent said. The Cambridge bomb squad arrived in Watertown shortly after 1:30 a.m.


A man in handcuffs was being questioned by the FBI in the back of an ambulance.


At Arsenal Court and Arsenal Street in Watertown, an officer bellowed: “Ya gotta get outta here. There’s an active shooter here with an active explosive. Go!”


Peter Jennings, 33, said he was sleeping just before 1 a.m. in his home on Prentiss Street in Watertown when he was awakened by a huge boom.


“It sounded like a stick of dynamite went off,” he said. “I looked out the window, and it was like nothing I’ve ever seen – blue light after blue light after blue light.”


He said more than three dozen emergency vehicles with sirens blaring were heading down Rt. 16 West. He went to the end of his street, where some neighbors were gathering. The air, he said, smelled like “at the end of a fireworks show, like a wick smell.”


“I had a bad feeling because of what happened on Monday,” he said.


John Antonucci’s 79-year-old mother called him hysterical from her home in Laurel Street. She heard about five gun shots and didn’t know what to do.


“She was saying they’re running down the street shooting,” Antonucci said standing outside if yellow police tape. “She was crying so hard I couldn’t understand what she was talking about.”


So he told her: Stay inside the house.


Residents describe the neighborhood as safe and family oriented, where they leave open doors and windows and feed stray cats.


Standing on the corner of Quincy and Nichols as police officers hastily strung up caution tape, Lindsay Gaylord, 25, and Collin Ausfeld, 26, peered over the scene to get a glimpse of their apartment about a block away on Dartmouth Street.


“I was buying ice cream right there” -- Gaylord pointed to a structure a few steps away, behind the caution tape “just this afternoon.”


Ausfeld stared at the crime scene in front of him, trying to make sense of what he was seeing. As an afterthought, he muttered, “I hope the apartment doesn’t blow up.”


The couple said they moved to the neighborhood in January, leaving behind their Belmont place, because Watertown was closer to the city, and their block was quiet, safe, and friendly.


“After this, I still feel safe on this street,” Gaylord said. “I mean, you just never know with these things.”


Adam Healy, 31, said he stepped outside for a cigarette near one of the shooting scenes in Watertown, when he heard gunfire.


“I just heard tons of gunshots,” he said. “Gunshot, gunshot, gunshot, gunshot. Then I saw an explosion and saw a burst of light in the sky.”


Imran Saif, a cab driver, was parking his car for the night near Dexter and School streets and was preparing to bike home from Cambridge when he heard a series of loud noises that he said “sounded like fireworks.” He said he biked toward the sounds, thinking they fireworks, when people in nearby houses began waving him back, telling him it was gunfire.


“It just sounded like there was automatic weapons going off, and I heard a few explosions,” he said. “They sounded like fireworks, mostly, big fireworks going off -- tons, I’d say. I’m really scared. When I found out it was gunshots, that just knocked the wind out of me.”


Police were demanding that cellphones be turned off.


The MIT officer, who has not been identified, was shot multiple times at 10:48 p.m., according to the Middlesex district attorney’s office. No one else was hurt, and no *arrests had been made by early Friday.


The manhunt fanned out from *Kendall Square over an area that has endured a tragic and tumultuous week, in the aftermath of the fatal explosions at Monday’s Boston Marathon. There was no report of a connection between the two events, but the swarm of sirens and circling helicopters rattled a region already on edge.


Police from several agencies were conducting a manhunt for the gunman across the school campus and on the T’s Red Line, according to authorities.


MIT and Cambridge police responded to a report of shots fired at 10:48 p.m. Thursday near Main and Vassar streets, according to the university.


Police officers and canine units swept the campus, and a big swath of Vassar Street was blocked.


The university issued an alert to students and faculty to remain inside.


An eerie quiet descended on the campus as teams of *police officers combed the campus block by block. SWAT teams were present.


Police checked bushes and alleys and yanked on doors.


Officers from the MIT and Harvard departments, as well as Cambridge and State Police, were present.


Siddhartha Varshney was walking home from dinner with two friends when they were stopped at the police cordon.


“Initially, we thought they had caught the suspect in the bombing,” the 28-year-old said. But they then learned it was a shooting involving an MIT officer.


“Well, I — honestly — I mean, I can’t think what I make of it. The situation is a little tense,” he said. “And I hope that whoever he is gets caught.”


Few seemed to be out on the campus at the time of the shooting. One professor, standing feet from the police tape, said he came out of his office when he heard a commotion of sirens and saw *police lights.


At around midnight, a frantic scene was unfolding at Massachusetts General Hospital, where a dozen police cars arrived with sirens on and several women were brought in by police, looking deeply *upset.


Marcella Bombardieri, *Brian MacQuarrie, Martine Powers, Maria Sacchetti, and Milton J. Valencia of the Globe staff and correspondents Jeremy C. Fox, Haven Orecchio-Egresitz, Jaclyn Reiss, and Gal Tziperman Lotan contributed to this report.

This evening I have listened all night to the police feeds from Boston. They have one of the bombers in custody and on the radio a few minutes ago they described the one still not caught as having dark hair and a grey hoodie.

This all started with a shootout at MIT (I have said MIT was an involved location for two days.). These guys used rifles, at least one more cooker bomb and grenades. The suspects stole a 2013 black Mercedes and ran, but were pinned down in Watertown, where more shooting occurred.

Currently they are still in Watertown and searching for suspect 2 with the white hat and he is presumed to have an IED on him.
