    It has been reported they have more footage, but who knows. There is footage of him being feet away from where the bomb exploded and next to the dead little boy. I also suspect there is more that we don't know. The Obama administration is very careful about that.. He didn't even call it terrorism at first.

    Piers Morgan just interviewed David Green, the individual who took that photo. Pretty amazing... he took only one photo and that was the one. They believe it's the highest quality/resolution photo the FBI has (though that's not confirmed).

    For anyone confused, the situation at MIT appears to be unrelated to the marathon bombing.

    Having said that, the cop at the MIT shooting has apparently died :(

    I guess part of is that in NYC we get bombarded with messages about unattended bags and reporting them. It's all over the subway system. But NYC has always been more of a target.

    And I am not saying by any means the guy should have known better. Just saying there's probably someone in that situation who would have found it suspicious.

    Not only are you off, but you care too much about something that shouldn't matter.

    He is not from any of those countries. The fact that you lump all of those countries together like that when each on has distinguishing characteristics is wrong.

    Asians know what I'm talking about.

    I have went through the video again and again the the guy in the white cap is not 6" tall. He is at best 5' 10". The other suspect is the one who is 6' 2". Sunil guy is 6' or 6' 2". Even the walking(strides) and posture not even the same. Well I'm judging that by 2 Sunil images to the suspect walking video.

    If you think the nationality of the bombers won't matter, you are naive. If the bombers are middle eastern and Muslim, there will be wide spread and far reaching consequences.

    I'm Asian and I think you're just too effing sensitive about the color and characteristic thing. What the hell do you think the cops and FBI and whatnot are talking about RIGHT now? They're discussing his physical features and what part of the world he or his parents are originally from. Give it a rest man.

    I don't know why I expect more from some posters.

    There already has been. Arabs were thrown off a flight. Muslim kids that went to the marathon can't leave the house. One Saudi was deported. This is just the beginning.

    These two men had a lot of confidence. They brazenly walked in there and put the bombs down and casually walked out. Thats a sense of purpose.

    I would not surprise me if these guys did not build the bombs themselves. Obviously planned out. They probably knew their faces would be captured by security cameras right? If they did, and they had any intention of escaping...

    You'd either have to escape the country, or you'd have to have someone who could hide you so you'd never have to go out into public for many many years. Either way, you'd need help to do that I'd think...

    Here's suspect #2 from the new image that surfaced tonight. Based on this, I don't think he looks anything like the missing kid.

    spoiler for huge image

    One of my best friends just took a job at State Street....moving his family soon.

    I think he needs to ask for combat pay.
