FBI says they have video evidence of Suspect 2(white hat) dropping book bag at the 2nd explosion site.

Everyone in that picture looks pretty calm for having had an explosion go off 50 yards away less than 15 seconds before.

Also, even if that was the case, they clearly aren't running from the first explosion.

A lot of eyewitnesses near the 2nd explosion said they heard the first explosion and thought nothing of it.

Ummm, why do you assume the other bomb had already gone off when the photo was taken?

OK so that's the map..

Here is a picture of Ring Road and Boylston, from Google maps.


Compare it to the picture of the bag drop...

The picture with the little kid is most definitely the 2nd bomb site, looking at the street view picture I posted.

The fact the it wasn't a suicide bomb means the kids value their own lives. So why drop a bomb in a place where you are under constant surveillance? You ought to choose a more freer state where your every move isn't being videotapped?

I notice the blue pull out roof in both. If that's what you'd call it.

Yup and the white/gray colored stone just behind the "do not enter" sign seems to be the same as what the street light is attached to right behind the boy.

Maybe, or the sick POS just wanted to live long enough to watch the coverage.

I'd think much quicker than that, assuming they were actually living here - I'd expect a few hours. It will be interesting to see if all the social media stuff helps, or actually hinders, the investigation by inundating it with too much BS.

I'm not assuming that, I was following up on my question asking about the report that the kid/family was hit by bomb 2 running from bomb 1. If they're already 5 feet in front of bomb 2, it doesn't seem like the report was accurate.

But he walked out with nothing...I think the implication was he got "activated", and disappeared (and looks like one of the guys).

I don't think it's related, but it's your typical Hollywood-style conspiracy.
