I believe we'll get the same amount of video footage of the suspect planting the backpack as we got of the plane hitting the pentagon.
Eta - One of those Saudis was found dead in the river though not under suspicion at the time.

Yes, but most of the news outlets were reporting the same thing. Their "National Security Analysts" and premier reporters and lead anchors were all quoting thier inside sources.
I think maybe MSNBC and CBS were some of the very few who did not.
Great observation OP.
I heard it all play out live that day, just as you laid out and - sadly - I promptly forgot all about it after West and the events of Thursday night.
Another weird thing is that Tsarnaev's Mom swears that it was Tamerlin who was the suspect made to strip before being placed in the squad car that Thursday night. She said it repeatedly in an interview with CNN's Nick Patton Walsh.
I guess the question is are all of these anomolies just related to the mania and furious pace of unfolding events - or is there more to it?

One key item that would help me be okay, in my mind about this whole Boston Bombing case, would be the video that is claimed to show a suspect placing a bag at the scene of the crime. However, I suspect a cover-up and if my suspicions are correct, we will never see that video. Only time will tell but for now I want to remind people about this video and what happened when it was found. This thread is meant for discussion on this topic only to prevent confusion.
I was at work on 4/17/2013 sitting near the radio listening to the news when I hear that law enforcement had gotten a video from one of the department stores that showed someone placing a bag at one of the blast sites. There were reports that they had full facial recognition on this person and that an arrest was emanate.
I was happy to hear that it looked like police were going to get someone and get to the bottom of this, but what happened next, I still have not gotten over. Within an hour of reports of an emanate arrest, reports came out that an arrest had been made, the suspect was being taken to the courthouse, and a press conference was even scheduled for later that day. I started to tell people and within 5-15 minutes, someone paying attention to a different news source, informed me that a bomb threat had been called into the courthouse and that it was being evacuated. Shortly after we are told by the press that they had the story wrong, had jumped to conclusions, and that no arrest had been made. The press conference was also canceled. Another day went by until the FBI released photos of the 2 suspects all over the news but as far as I know the video of someone placing a bag down has never been released. I will add that the video is mentioned in the official FBI complaint issued against suspect #2.
I suspect that an arrest was made that day and a cover-up took place. I suspect that this person is being protected by the US government for some reason. I suspect that the person in the department store video is the same person that was arrested that day, and that is why the video will never be released to the public. Here are some short video’s from that day, that I found, that support my suspicions.
In this first one, around the 1:00 minute mark, you will see a US Marshall’s' van go by and the reporter claims that it enters the rear entrance of the courthouse. Was an arrested suspect brought here not so secretly? Did secret court proceedings take place in order to protect or conceal this person? These are things I wonder.
In the next video you will hear a reporter talk about the mixed reports from that day and also mention that the press conference has been canceled. He goes on to say that the FBI seems to be keeping things quiet while the local police seem to be the ones leaking information. This is further evidence of a cover-up on a federal level in my opinion.
The events from this day would get overshadowed by the explosion in Texas that night then later, seemingly forgotten by the press. I post this thread so people don’t forget that the video that shows at least one of the bombers has still not been released and likely never will be.
My suspicions can easily be proven wrong and I hope they will be, when the video from the department store is released showing someone setting down and leaving the bag.

They have to find convincing body doubles before they can shoot that scene and release it to the public.

Doe's any one know which bomb this video is suppose to be of. First or second?
It appeares the second bomb was the bag next to the mail box, at least from the photos, so I don't think he could have put it there.
Who is this video suppose to be of?

Interesting stance to take my friend, you're basically admitting that if the video was released, you would dismiss it instantly anyway.
Your mind is already made up, thusly, closed.
