visible there, and of course, as terrorists tend to focus on the centers and the symbols of commerce, good to see that perhaps nothing has taken place here yet. i can tell you, though, that at the train station, union station and the other places where commuters come together, a lot of more intense security there as yet large crowds out in front of those places. that s the latest from chicago, neil. neil: thank you very meche. very much. we re about 20 minutes away from an update by doctors at the boston medical center where 19 of the more critically injured victims are being treated. as soon as that conference begins we ll tack you take you there live. in the meantime, the doctor was running in the boston marathon when the explosion first came. immediately began tending to the wounded, and, doctor, i understand that was a fairly ugly moment.
the day. so, again, the time leading up about an hour leading up to what the explosions went off is critical, and a half hour after the explosions went off, that could be equally as critical as well because we may see someone in videos that maybe walked up to the scene a little before the explosions went off, and then was immediately seen leaving the scene. so any video or still photo, send that into the police because that could be the missing piece of the puzzle we need in solving this case, neil. neil: good words, rod wheeler, thank you very much. sure. neil: what is the intel community hearing? the intelligence folks on top of a lot more than you and i are or probably ever will be. we ll hear from one of those next. all stations come over to mission a for a final go.
neil: you know, this pressure cooker use, a lot of these explosives were contained in pressure cooker type devices hidden in backpacks. very analogous to the type of devices we are told were used in afghanistan and pakistan. so that once again raised the issue, they almost have to have been foreign born. but as you pointed out in the atlanta case, not always. and i think in the times square case it was a similar type weapon that was averted in new york, and in fact there was a taliban group that claimed responsibility for that. no such responsibility claim this time. what are we to make of that? first of all you re absolutely right. the pressure cooker device is commonly used in afghanistan and pakistan and india. they ve used those for ieds. but that s because it is a cooking utensil that is readily
get the crucial piece of information from just average folks, and i m predating, i think you and me here to go back to the ysk ysk jfk assassination when a guy named zapruder got the only shot, the crucial shot of the assassination of the president. or i can go on to what we have since seen in madrid and london and the bombings there a lot of those provided via folks average cell phones. a lot of time folks who have this stuff don t realize what they have. right? you re exactly right. and people hear these stories and day say the police have enough information i m sure. not necessarily. so that little piece of information that you may have on your cell phone camera, could be the missing piece of the puzzle we need. so it s very important that any citizens out there yesterday in boston, whatever video they have, but again, it s equally
and if you got the wrong home insurance coverage, it s your bank account that might explode. so get allstate. [ dennis ] good hands. good home. make sure you have the right home protection. talk to an allstate agent. . neil: all right. a lot of the folks out of boston area, maybe i won t go out and shop. maybe i won t go outside at all. maybe i ll stay indoors. people overreact. we have a psychologist jeff here to say be careful. you also say talk it out. that s right. you should be careful, take it day by day, assess what is going on. certainly talk to people about it. every study has shown if there is an intervention that is made, whether you are talking to someone else, whether you are on a medication to help you
