Two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon

It appears that these two brothers weren't quite finished. Maybe all that pesky police work was worth it......

Actually he was found when they allowed the citizens to come out of their homes. The boat owner came out of his house and saw the shrink wrap was loose on his boat, found the suspect in his boat and called police. (in an area they had already canvassed and claimed was secure by the way)

Sometimes the needle in the haystack is missed at first. Watertown and the surrounding area is a large haystack to secure and search. It's not surprising that he managed to sneak around undetected for so long. Sometimes suspects are able to "double back" in a search area. I've seen it happen numerous times in person.

I heard that the home was just outside their search area.

I used to live north of Route 16 but in the same general area as the shootout and search. It would be relatively easy to slip from yard to yard in the dark of night, but the area is hemmed in by major roads and a river.

I get up early for work as I commute from Bow to Cambridge. Fri 4/19 I was on the road and started hearing the news. I didn't hear the part about not coming into the city until I was almost at work, so I kept going to the office. My office is about 2-3 miles as the crow flies from where they ended up finding the guy. I stayed at work until noon, and it truly was a surreal experience. The very busy road our office is on was more or less abandoned by private vehicles. There was a constant stream of police cruisers (marked, unmarked, SUVs, SWAT etc), ambulances, and rescue vehicles going by. At about 11AM, at least a dozen NH state troopers went by at a decent clip (I later heard that they were there to support the local officers/give them a break). I am glad I left work when I did. There was no one else on the road, and I could tell by the fire truck at the Dunkin Donuts next door (they were getting lunch) that I was not in any danger. After I got back home, I was glued to the TV.

I have NO problem with the stay in place request/order from the Gov. It was a good call considering that the guy they were looking for was A. tied to an event that killed 3 ppl and injured hundreds, B. tied to the cold-blooded murder of a police officer, and C. tied to the police chase where there was gun fire and grenade-type weapons being thrown out the window at police. The guy was desperate, and showed that he was willing to do whatever it took to get away.
