FBI briefing live on CNN now.
photos on fbi.gov
I’m surprised that the photo that myfoxboston was showing looks accurate
I could not pull up the pictures on fbi.gov, and it’s hard to tell much from the versions shown during the briefing. Both suspects appear to be young, I’d say college age. Neither appears to fit the profile of a McVeigh type…
UGH!
One of the stations in boston wcvb.com is showing video footage of the suspects walking along the street with the backpacks one behind the other. Right in front of suspect one is a woman in a light blue coat carrying yellow balloons that look exactly like the ones floating away after the blast.
Link to FBI pics and video.
At least on my phone the photos seem very grainy and low res. surely with all those crowd shots out there someone will be able to find better pics of these men?
It’s making me crazy! I was on the road listening to the press conference, and cannot get any link to the pictures to load! The FBI website is down, I’m sure because of traffic, and they did not release the pictures to media prior to the conference, so the websites don’t have them either!
boston.com has some of the pictures in their blog to the right of the site
myfoxboston.com is still showing their original picture of suspect number 2 with his backpack on the ground
yahoo.com has at least one picture of each suspect as well
Looks like a couple of Muslim Tea Party Wall Street Occupiers to me.
This is going to be solved soon. Those pictures and video aren’t perfect, but they’re good enough.
Lots of people are going to recognize those twits.
Okay…got them…
Very surprised. Wouldn’t have been surprised by Bathrobe guy, or young Middle Eastern guy, or some skinhead-y type. But two frat looking boys…
Also surprised they’re identified right off the bat as suspects…
Apparently, conventional wisdom among cops in this type of case, with photos and videos, is that these guys will be caught by sundown. I just hope we can avoid a Ruby Ridge type event.
I can just imagine these guys got together and the one guy said, “OK, make sure to wear a baseball cap so you are harder to identify by any cameras.”
The other guy, distracted, busy texting, “Yeah, sure, baseball cap, got it dude.”
I hate Massachusetts Muslim Tea Party Wall Street Occupiers.
Aha!
Holy shit, wheelchair guy helped identify one of the suspects.
from the article, his brother said:
That’s awesome. I’m speechless.
Holy shit, how fortunate that Carlos Arredondo was there to help save the guy’s life.
Wouldn’t that be an amazing ending and tribute to these guys who got blown together in this mess?
So cool. They should let him put the last nail in the coffin.
Wonder if this is related to the marathon bombs, or just a very unfortunate coincidence.
