Boston Globe tick-tock of the hunt for bombing suspects

boston-globe-ticktock-logo.pngThe Boston Globe this weekend published the staff's reconstruction of the manhunt for the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. Haven't seen it all, but what I've read and watched looks pretty impressive. There's a five-minute video on the site with photos and audio, and the whole package looks to be available for free. From the package intro:

And no one felt that more than the police and agents mounting the largest manhunt in regional history and parsing its most complex crime scene. It took a cast of thousands — also courage, sacrifice, teamwork, and luck — to crack the case. But they did it.
