I have a feeling the break was a lot less big than CNN tried to make it. So we might as well adjust our expectations.
WTF
Poor dude.
Wish they showed the entire interview on the website...it's a bit longer than that.

Except there are 2 other high resolution photos in that series that CLEARLY show him with no bag in hands or shoulder...

"Breaking News" doesn't really mean much to CNN anymore.
Oh my god... Those poor people, ugh.
do you have a link to those? i've never seen them
Not really breaking if they just constantly have it plastered on their screen all day long...
Nor does non-stop coverage "right after this break" WTF?
CNN doesn't understand what "Breaking News" means. I was in the gym earlier and their breaking news was "investigation is ongoing"
dafuq?
Good on Boston. Shows a lot of heart.

Yes, and in the bigger 'no bag' picture where he is standing is incredibly densely packed full of people, so it would have simply been good manners to hold the bag on the floor in front of him instead of having it on his back (and in somebody's face.)

You can see the entire series here...keep in mind there are photos of the aftermath here too...if you click on photo you can get the original resolution super high res photos...

There is one photo where his arms are folded and there is space between him and person in front and it's very very obvious he has no bag...if you bring it into photoshop and adjust levels of the high res, you can clearly see it's not on shoulders either...

Youtube has gone to complete shit. Every video takes forever to load, it's unbelievable and incredibly frustrating.

Whether he has the bag or not in the second picture is pretty much irrelevant. Those photos were taken much before the event occurred.
So the bag could have been placed afterwords.
I'm not saying these two are the guys, I'm just sayin'...

so here's the description of a suspect tweeted earlier by cbs news:
wearing a black jacket:
wearing a hoodie:
no photos of his hat on backwards, though
Not surprised.
I heard in the media lately that losing a limb is like losing a family member. Horrible

Just after the 4 hours mark they went off.

Where is the original sized photo of that guy? That one is cropped.
edit: I agree that them being there so long before lowers the chances of them having something to do with. With all the security present, you'd think they'd get in and out quickly. Who knows though, they could have also been having more trouble than planned finding a spot and managing to leave the bags without attracting too much attention.
There's like a million photos.

Most of the photos except the first one taken from a different vantage point are all in this photostream and available in hi res...

I could imagine. You're losing something you loved, maybe took for granted your entire life. And you'll never see it again.I heard in the media lately that losing a limb is like losing a family member. Horrible

Not necessarily, depends by what assembling means. If it just means plugging a thingy in it, it's not far fetched.
I see. Yeah, no bags anymore. What time was that?
2:50, that was the marathon time

I heard the bomb was made on site, as walking around with it too long could trigger the explosion accidentally. Does this sound plausible?

And these are the people that are against gun control. God help us.
Is there a picture of these guys closer to the tree?
Thank you
Is there any websites where you can donate directly to help the victims? I found one but the minimum is $10 and I am broke but I can give $1. It isn't much but it's all I can really afford. It's a shame to think of how many people are needed to be amputated and how American life insurance is.

Looking at the wrong guy...look at his friend...with the black bag with the odd protrusion...

Has anyone considered these are two different guys? I believe that is the first shot of backpack guy from the front, with his backpack on and he is wearing different clothes than his no-backpack form. Could've taken off the hoody, obviously
The backpack and no-backpack photos don't come from the same set
