Apparently his car has been spotted heading towards manhattan?

It looks like some of them are. Of course, they could just be fake names or whatever but as far as i can tell a fair few of them look like genuine names.
That's got to be bollocks. At one point he's surrounded and the next thing he's off somewhere else.
If they set up a perimeter surely he can't have got through that?
If he's still on the run on foot as well you'd think people would have seen him scorping around unless he is holed up.

To be fair I've not seen anywhere other than on here that he's surrounded.
He could, in an area with lots of buildings etc, it can be difficult to cut off every path and to keep every spot in view. Also, if he got out of the area before the perimeter was established, well that can happen also.

They were setting up the perimeter this morning when I was listening to the scanner. I'd say a perimeter is a wide-ish area though compared to being surrounded.
Like I said before, surely a heat camera on a chopper would have found him quickly?
there will be plenty of people in their own homes within the perimeter...
This morning the perimeter seemed like a reasonably small area and all the police (which I imagine is a lot) were told to retreat to make it. He'd be bloody lucky to get through that.
They had tracks on all the suspects earlier. There wouldn't have been many people outside at that time. Doubt he would've got into a house at that time without being seen if they had had a chopper.

CNN are covering themselves in glory today.

His school/college friends saying he was just a normal popular kid and not religious.
real life is not like the movies.
That was cringeworthy.
Well he posted Qur'an verses on a social networking site, as well as the phrase "Islam is the path to paradise", according to Noggie media. Doesn't necessarily mean that that is the motive behind this (if there is any), but it seems likely.
19 is an age where lots of things can change, especially on that deeply personal level.
Of course, they could've just gone batshit for no particular reason, but two people going batshit at the same time seems somewhat unlikely (though not impossible, as demonstrated by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold).
Two brothers acted together. I can understand one going all wacko. Something will have happened in their life for them to choose this path of devastation.
Speaking to his friends, teachers, relatives etc.. doesn't seem a die hard terrorist.
I never had a brother, but I reckon if I did I'd probably support him in any endeavour. I agree, something occured that changed one's worldview drastically.
I'm 19 too. I'm not going to bomb a marathon.
He's either evil
Stupid
Or so naive his brother/someone else got into his head.
I'd say he's shitting himself now, and I just hope to God he hands himself in before he hurts anyone else or himself.
Probably a Die Hard: With A Vengeance one.
Not saying this is what has happened to them but there have been documented cases.

That's the term I was looking for.
The problem is he is no doubt scared and lonely without his older brother, that could make him even more dangerous.
Hard to get a fit of his mindset really - he doesn't seem the cold ice killer you would expect him to be, but perhaps deep down he always was?

They had passports from Kyrgyzstan.

MSNBC reporting that at some point since they did the carjacking they used the victims ATM card to get $800 out of a ATM. Some analysts suggesting that it appears that while they put a good deal of effort into planning the bombing (assuming that they are the ones who did it) but they put very little if any planning into any kind of get away.
So either they just thought being a big crowd nobody would figure out it was them or perhaps all along they planned for getting caught and not getting taken alive, but hoping to take some others out with them. PURE SPECULATION of course.

The elder brother would have been more aware of world events when the family emigrated, his attendance of education and training is more variable, i think it likely it stems from him one way or another. Then either he worked on his younger brother over time or he simply bought into the same motivation [whatever that turns out to be].
I'm not criticizing anyone for being 19, what I'm saying is that's an age where a young man especially can feel very strongly about things, so much so that it effects a change in their own identity and persona so that people who once felt they knew them would be shocked to find out they did something like this.
The social media aspect of this is very disturbing. The way the internet police have wrongly named suspect, the way newspapers and stations have reported these wrong identifications. It was nuts when we just had 24 hour news channels but with the addition of Facebook, twitter and opinion sites like ours ... Its reality TV in 4 dimensions.
And social media is still relatively in its infancy.

Reminds me of the worst season of Dexter
They have him at gunpoint, has a device on him apparently.
edit: Actually, not sure who it is they have? Thought they just described him as white male, 60-70 years old?

Then replace ST with IR and you solved the riddle!
They just said on the scanner "he's in cuffs"
This level of coverage is just insane
