City of Boston and surrounding towns on Lockdown as search continues for 2nd terrorist..
For those of you who live or know the Boston area Watertown, Belmont, Cambridge, Allston, Brighton are shut tight as a drum. Last night the two terrorists killed an MIT Police officer and carjacked a car after attempting to rob a 6-11. Then the car chase ensued which, seemed totally surreal, like a movie. The carjackers let the owner out of the car at one point and he sent the police after them. The suspects then tossed out bombs/possible grenades after the pursuing police. During a firefight another officer (from the transit police) was critically injured. During the firefight bomber number one was killed though they're not sure about how he died since he was, according to reports, blown partially away by an IED around his neck. *no tears here for that bastard* I usually take public transportation as I have to be in work for 7 a.m. (I live about an hour out of Boston). They announced all public transportation was stopped. Early workers like myself such as hospital, construction workers etc milled around a bit confused. *Then* they told us they were evacuating the station. I tore off back to the garage, picked up my car, and drove into Boston. My building is near South Station so I got into work on time. Only to have "closed until noon" e-mail sent with possible closed for the day. Grrr..so all the early birds waited and worked until they told us to get out before the City of Boston got locked down. We ran for our cars/rides and were very glad to get out of the city. As I passed South Station in Boston it was ringed by Police and National Guard. The hunt continues for the second bomber.
