Manhunt Going On In Watertown, Massachusetts Right Now

Lets be honest...it is masochism. This will change.

Likely not.

So glad you have supplies in the house J&J... still thinking of you and sending best thoughts for you all of you, friends and family...

glad too you have been in touch with your families.

Hunker down until you get the all clear and I'll catch up with you in the morning. zzzzzzzztime in the UK and will be praying for your safety and wellbeing. Also glad you have each other to be with.

Take good care overnight and do try and get some sleep. See you in the morning (((((((((((J&J, George and family and your neighbours, A2KBostonions and their's))))))))))))

Hey Jes and RP - thoughts are with you and all in Boston. Prayers for protection and a quick end to the scary situation. I am glad you can stay buttoned up!

Thanks!

And we even got the new cable modem installed.

That's the spirit!

<phew>

That's all. Just phew.

Jespah and RP know where I had my last apartment in Boston -- less than a half a mile from Copley Square and the site of the two explosions Monday. (Prob'ly a good deal less as the crow flies.) Now, more than 6,000 miles distant from all that, I sit here, shaking my head, and silently praying for all of you, my fellow Bostonians, to be safe and well.

Damn!!!

I remember your place - yeah - it was close to Copley.

Lockdown order lifted, but the suspect remains at large. We are hearing more traffic, including sirens and helicopters above.

gunshots in Watertown being reported...

BREAKING: Man pinned down by police in Watertown believed to be bomb suspect, source says.

There is definite police activity at the moment. I hope they can take him alive. He has important information. However, I know it's not likely they'll get him alive.

Here's an interesting sidelight on how one of the two suspects was identified by a man who lost his legs in theexplosion.

He appears to be hiding in a boat.

radio silence. They're going in.

Oh, man...

(That was to Andy, didn't see about the boat, so
another oh, man... )

The word seems to be that a "body," covered by a tarp with blood is in a boat in the backyard of a house in Watertown. This suggests that he may be dead. Too bad. Sad story.

Meantime I just saw that the pair weren't the guy who robbed the 7-11, but they were there at the site. Not sure if any of you said that yet, I've been in the kitchen and going back and forth to the computer room.

I don't know about that, osso. It has been said that the pair that robbed the 7-11 is not the same pair as the bombers. But now it has been reported that the person in the boat is moving. So it seems he's alive.
