    That was the one, thanks. It showed what they described as a guy who got out of there quickly. Is that the scene of the second explosion?

    Seems like some sh-thead calling in a bomb threat (if the above is actuallly true).

    I believe that was the first one but honestly I'm not sure. Everything is so confusing to me right now with so many reports. I'm also not able to get a satellite signal for some reason to listen to any news channels on Sirius.

    Why is the courthouse being evacuated?

    Clutch and Longhornfan, that circled guy is just media speculation unrelated to the authorities, as I understand it. ABC originally interviewed the guy who took the video from his office on Boylston.

    Don't think it is related AT ALL to the videos that allegedly broke the case today.

    seriously, there's a number of people trying to GTFO from the bomb blast if you look at the high res photos - the gif is a bit misleading

    Probably a bomb threat from a prank caller joining in this already chaotic situations.

    They're not saying the report caused the evacuation, simply that it happened after the report was made.

    Sounds like a false report caused a rush of media to surround, and maybe enter, the courthouse, which probably spooked law enforcement into evacuating the building, since they couldn't screen everyone.

    No doubt. Agree completely. Even in the gif, someone in a red hoody looks just as "fishy."

    Interesting. Thanks, B-Bob. I was watching that GIF and wondering what in that crude clip made him a suspect, but they did show that image of him with the smoke around him on CNN. It looks like his pants were shredded from the explosion.

    I know reports have been inaccurate, but they reported earlier the main evidence came from the Lord and Taylor department store video, which was near the second explosion. My understanding from it was they narrowed in on the suspect because he left a bag. I'm not sure how accurate that is though.

    this 4chan compilation is a pretty amazing use of crowd sourcing the investigation, a conspiracy theorists dream
