Has anyone else heard about this? Do we have anyone at MIT right now?

Yup, listening live to radio here.

 

They are saying "near" Chechnya....also heard reports they lived in Turkey before coming to US.

 

With one on the loose, several cities are basically in shutdown....public transportation (MBTA) shutdown......

 

There was another report of a taxi being stopped in Boston (Kenmore Square), reports of two, maybe three, people handcuffed at the curb, and then what was reported a sa "controlled explosion."  Not much further news on that, newscasters are clearly stating these are not the bombing suspects, but not much else.

 

This is surreal.....

And I don't even want to know what the battery clamp is for.

 

Also, does that channel really have 200K+ viewers nee listeners?

 

EDIT:  Can't do it, too nerve-wracking, going back to work.

 

Yeah, the stream had 60k viewers around 1pm. By the time I got home it was well over 200K :eek:
