Shots (confirmed) Explosions (unconfirmed) Watertown, MA

[aauummm]

Crazy gunfire, and CNN reporting two suspects in custody.

FBI on scene in Boston suburb.

CNN also claiming undetonated explosives at scene.

police are being very patient and methodical

 

[CyArob]

Still alive at this point.

Don't worry we'll always need weathermen.

but they are always wrong!

Gah. I need to get to HyVee to get brats before the meat counter closes for tomorrow.

I think you have all day tomorrow before it closes.

All they had to do is listen to the scanner feed and report them as flashbangs rather than 10 minutes about being many gun shots.

Have you seen how much wrong information has been spread that came from the scanners?

 

[nj829]

scanner back up and running, lots of silence, think the on the ground guys were getting their plans together? seemed confused 15 mins ago

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Makes you wonder why he ever moved from where he was originally to the boat. Thought it was safe and was trying to get outside the perimeter?

Felt like going fishing?

 

[Rabbuk]

but they are always wrong!

I'm gonna be honest I just use weather.com and look at the radar.

 

[aauummm]

Scanner still working for anyone?

yep MA Rt. 9 Window Cam on USTREAM: A live look outside my window. Other 24/7

 

[CyArob]

Rule in the news room is NO REPORTING SCANNER TRAFFIC. It's often wrong, incomplete, or misinterpreted.

So they'd rather just make **** up. Like 2 officers firing 30 round clips at the boat that was reported earlier!?

 

[GrindingAway]

Don't worry we'll always need weathermen.

No way I'd rather come to the weather threads here and read what FDWxMan says here than listen to some silly weatherman.

Still better than anything coming from TV news.

 

[Daserop]

I'm gonna be honest I just use weather.com and look at the radar.

same.

 

[ISUAlum05]

Scanner died on me. Glad someone still has it.

 

[johnstoncy]

Want the copter to put the sun on the boat.

 

[3TrueFans]

Still better than anything coming from TV news.

But I'm saying if the news channels used the scanners like you're suggesting they'd be spreading just as much wrong information to a much wider audience. Not that they don't spread incorrect information now, because they do, but reading straight from the scanner is not going to be any better necessarily, just faster.

 

[michaelrr1]

Do they know where he was hiding before the boat? Did they see him moving to it?

 

[nj829]

FBI wants lights turned on boat, guys next to boat not a fan of that. arm up and down in boat. left side of boat.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

I don't get why it's so tough. Just shine a million lights on him, blind him, then take him out.

 

[enisthemenace]

How much would it suck if this dude just bleeds out in the boat? I want him brought in alive or LIT UP.
