| How Many Days Did It Take To Find The Boston Bombers |
The Bombastic Beginning
So, picture this: It's April 15th, 2013. Patriots' Day. People are cheering, runners are nearing the finish line of the Boston Marathon, and then... BOOM! Two pressure cooker bombs detonate near the crowd, causing mayhem and leaving a trail of devastation.
The Face of Fear: Enter the Tsarnaev Brothers
Authorities are understandably freaking out. Who did this? Thankfully, a vigilant citizen snaps a photo of two guys who seem awfully nonchalant about the whole "bombs-at-a-marathon" thing. Enter the Tsarnaev brothers, our not-so-dynamic bombing duo.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
The Keystone Cops Caper (Except Way More Serious)
The plot thickens faster than Aunt Beatrice' gravy. The brothers end up in a shootout with police, leading to a city-wide lockdown. Imagine the confusion: "Did someone order a pizza? Because there sure are a lot of flashing lights outside!"
The Grand Finale: We Got Our Guys!
After a wild goose chase that would impress Bugs Bunny, one brother ends up dead and the other, Dzhokhar, is hiding in a boat like a millennial after a breakup. But thanks to a tip from a hero homeowner, they smoke him out (metaphorically, of course).
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
The Answer You Actually Came For
It took law enforcement four-and-a-half days to apprehend the Boston Marathon bombers. Not bad considering the whole "hiding-in-a-boat" situation.
