Boston
I'm sitting here in my apartment in Cambridge. The whole Boston area is on lockdown. I heard police sirens all night. Pretty scary stuff.

Be safe! Hopefully they catch this guy soon enough. Just mind blowing that the ENTIRE CITY OF BOSTON is under lockdown orders. Thats unprecedented. How close are you to Norfolk street? Can you hear the controlled detonations of the explosives?

Norfolk Street is about 1.5 miles from my apartment. I have friends who live right near there. I haven't heard any of the explosions - everything is quiet near me. The streets are largely deserted. School is canceled and businesses seem to be closed.

I can't imagine a city here going under complete lockdown. It sounded so strange, and scary.
Glad to hear they've aprehended the second guy. |

You will notice this thread is almost a year old, Myself. The event talked about then is the bombing of the Boston marathon last year and the subsequent city lockdown to track down the bombers.

I knew it was old. I just wondered what had happened.
