    To be fair, would a single plane accident make the news this side of the Atlantic if the whole place wasn't on high alert?

    I haven't seen it on any of our news stations yet.

    Ha. Reporter on CNN just said:
    "Here in Watertown, its as though a bomb had dropped somewhere and the streets are clear."

    She's on the top of her game.

    I turned it on for a few minutes when I got in from work....straight back off. Shockingly bad reporting.

    Are they just clearing houses at random? They don't seem to have a clue where he is.

    I wonder how they're clearing houses if no-one comes to the door? He could be in an empty house, wounded.

    I was thinking he was just barricaded somewhere and they were waiting it out, but it seems they don't really have a clue. Who were the shots fired at earlier then?

    "Chechnya is a suburb of Czechoslovakia" appeared on the website of the "New York Post."

    Level 2 operations require searching garages and if that fails Level 3 operations require checking the back gardens.

    How big is the area they are searching in?

    I heard the term "20 blocks" but what would that be, 1 mile? 2 miles?

    What, are you saying they're only checking the rooms of a house and leaving the gardens and garages to come back to later?

    Interesting video timeline on the guardian page. Some bloody journalist has told everyone on twitter she has a sniper in her house too!

    They either widen the boundary or repeat the search (or both).

    CNN discussed it earlier.


    There was an interesting point made during an interview on Fox earlier as well. They said because they had so many explosives when it kicked off it indicated they had other targets. You don't build a bomb just in case you come up with an idea later, you build it when you have the plan. The fact that they didn't disappear straight after the first bombing suggests they didn't expect to be on the run so quick and so it's unlikely the bombs were part of an escape plan. They must've had other targets before their photos were released.

    If the guy isn't in the area being searched then there's a risk he might attempt to complete the "mission".
