dale russell, our old friend that atlanta, georgia. thanks,dale. thanks, sean. let s get back to boston where our very own bill hemmer is standing by. he has the latest on the ground, including the images we put up earlier from whdh. bill, what can you tell us on is that? sean, good evening. these are intriguing images. what we believe they show, it appears like some sort of paper bag with the lining of plastic on the inside. let me set the scene for you. this is along boylston street along the finish line. this would have been possibly the second explosion, sean. i ll call it a paper bag for the moment here because that s what it looks like sitting next to this mailbox. there is a preimage, and then there is a post image that is posted on the tv website for whdh, the affiliate here in boston. this would have been about 75, 100 yards down the course from the first explosion, the initial
0 if you will, there are a couple of numbers we ve been able to piece together, there s part of a name. we think we have a pretty good idea who the manufacturer is. we haven t confirmed it yet so we aren t confirming it. if that s the kind of work we can do from our desks, the i-team, can imagine what the forensic scientists are able to do. my guess is they lord know and are looking into it. we will have our bomb experts on a little later and they will get into the specifics of how this is made and why it is so deadly and dangerous in terms of being a pressure cooker and why they are used as they are. but one thing is there are certain bombs that they have bomb footprints. maybe certain ieds used by the taliban by groups such as al-qaeda. any indication from your law enforcement sources that they have any suspicions at this point? what i hear at this point in time is they can t rule anything out. it s way too early in the game. they have to look at this device, they have to look at
0 moments later when a blast occurred from virtually the same spot. we have no confirmation it s the same bomb, but they have turned this footage over to the fbi tonight. we will speak with our bomb experts in a few minutes and get their take. in other breaking news coming in, a letter which tested positive for the lethal substance ricen was sent to a senator from mississippi. all letters first go off-site for testing for items such as this. there s no confirmation that the contaminated letter has anything to do with the boston bombings, but the timing is suspicious. we will go live to d.c. momentarily. first we go to be a old friend,dale russell, who is in atlanta with details of the new photos just released. dale, thank you for coming on. what do we know at this hour? sean, great to be with you. right now i think it s fair to they have to look at this device, they have to look at how it is built, they have to look at how devices over in the middle east were built and have been util
explosion. this is the very same shot that was taken about an hour apart. good morning everyone. i am heather nauert. we have more details on where the investigation stands. first remembering the three lives tank during the marathon bombing as we learn more about the victims. hundreds of people packed into boston commons to honor 8-year-old martin richards, 29-year-old kristen campbell and a boston university student a chinese national and her family asked that no other information be released. another individual in dorchester, massachusetts. people are holding banners asking for peace. they see the candles and the american flag and it was peaceful but it was also a reminder of how united we are as a neighborhood. all around the country not just runners but americans standing united with boston. runners going for a jog to honor the victims. we will also learn much more about the three victims. we have a closer look at each person there who lost lives and how their f
the manufacturer, but we re still working on that. i think there is some underwriting laboratory numbers on there. there is some numbers that may be, as you say, serial numbers. the same thing the f.b.i. and atf, who manufactured this piece. they got enough to work with. they are going to be able to take that and find out who manufactured it, who sold it and where. shep: so dale, what you are saying, after the bomb exploded this is a large chunk that ended up at the crime scene and the rest of it caused the maiming and destruction. what are your south, foreign? what one of the things i was reminded of, what is the message of the bomber? what were they trying to say? that is what they are trying to sort is through right now. one of the things they look at
