The Great Boston Bomber Bake-Off: From Marathon Mayhem to Capture in Cozy Comfort
The 2013 Boston Marathon. A day of athletic triumph, cheering crowds, and... well, let's just say things took a turn for the explosive. Two pressure cooker bombs detonated near the finish line, sending shockwaves (literally and figuratively) through the city. But fear not, citizens! Because what followed was a manhunt so intense, it would make a Jason Bourne movie look like a game of hide-and-seek in a ball pit.

The Donut Detectives Get Cookin'
The investigation kicked off faster than you can say "carbo-loading." The FBI, ever the resourceful bunch, released grainy surveillance footage that looked like it was filmed on a potato. Enter the real heroes: the general public. Armed with nothing but their keen eyes and a questionable amount of Dunkin' Donuts coffee (hey, it's Boston!), they combed through the footage like they were searching for the last jelly donut.
Within a whopping 24 hours, bingo! A tip came in identifying the culprits as the charming Tsarnaev brothers, who, incidentally, resembled your average college student about as much as a Rottweiler resembles a teacup poodle.
From Marathon Mayhem to Movie Night Mishap
But the plot thickens faster than a bowl of undercooked oatmeal. The brothers, it turned out, weren't exactly planning on a tea party with the authorities. There were shootouts, carjackings, and enough explosions to make Michael Bay jealous. Finally, after a dramatic showdown worthy of its own action sequence, one brother met his demise, and the other ended up hiding in someone's boat (because apparently, that's where all fugitives go these days?).
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Four and a half days after the bombs went off, the remaining brother was captured, sweaty, scared, and probably wishing he'd opted for a jog instead of, you know, domestic terrorism.
So, How Long Did This Whole Thing Take?
The official answer: 4 and a half days. But let's be honest, those were 4 and a half days packed with more drama than a Kardashian family reunion.
