News from Boston will become clearer and clearer,
as time passes. Throughout the night, people were helping the wounded, searching through debris, collecting evidence and working to figure out the details. Immediately after the bombings, news was unreliable. Casualty counts changed depending on which news source you were following. The number of dead and injured kept fluctuating. Theories and hypothetical musings were bandied about, over and over again, usually from people who have no more factual information than the rest of us.
This morning, we still do not know who planted those bombs, and we may not know for some time. We do know more about casualties, and we're starting to get information about the search for those responsible. There are still people collecting and analyzing evidence and trying to work out the exact nature of the bombs. Those are important clues, and those doing the investigation are good at what they do. We'll know more later on that, and that information may lead to finding the perpetrator(s).
In the meantime, more casualties will report in to local hospitals - those who are experiencing delayed symptoms of concussions and other non-visible injuries. In the hospitals, the injured are slowly recovering, and the ones in critical condition are being monitored continuously, and further treatments are being planned.
Whoever did this is likely staying out of sight, but will eventually emerge, and may even tell someone what he or she did. There may even be bragging about it. Like all creepy assholes, that person will have enemies and people who dislike him or her. Someone may well report something. Videos from security and other cameras are being analyzed, and more and more people who were there on the scene are watching the videos and images captured on their cell phones and cameras, over and over again, looking for something out of the ordinary. Those people will be sending those videos to the authorities, who will examine them, too.
We'll continue to hear theories about what happened from a wide range of people who were not there, and who have no idea what they're talking about. Ignoring those people is a great idea. Repeating unsupported theories on the internet isn't such a great idea, and just adds to the confusion.
At some point, though, today, tomorrow, or a week or month from now, there will be announcements about this tragedy that will get us all closer to the truth. They won't come from the conspiracy theorists or pundits. They'll come from those who are quietly examining all of the evidence and narrowing in on exactly what happened. We should listen for this real information, and let all of the talkers who weren't there and who are simply spouting whatever enters their minds talk to themselves.
This will be solved. There were too many witnesses, too many cameras, and too much evidence from the actual explosions for an answer not to be found. We'll find out. Until then, I'll be doing other things.
We will find out the truth. Wait for it. It will come.
