Eerie Boston.

The streets are empty. People glance nervously and suspiciously at each other. The sound of rotor blades fills the sky. Sirens blare intermittently in the distance and then fly by you with no notice, as you jump within your own skin. Everyone is on edge.

A light breeze throughout the city brings you noises from afar. The sound of flag lines thumping off their poles make more noise than the traffic on the street. A strange lulled silence has fallen over Boston today. The city is on lock down - people are advised to stay indoors. Cars are not allowed to be removed from garages.

This is what living in a curfew is like.

People are eager for information. Every television station has up-to-date news pictures. Various street scenes fill our screens, as we await the end game of the second suspect.

For most, the conclusion cannot come quickly enough. Emergency crews and police officers have to be applauded for their swift response to such an extraordinary event. The advent of social media and the everyday availability of camera phones and CCTV footage has no doubt aided the investigation. In these circumstances, having cameras everywhere will bring these insane individuals down.

Police crews have pulled out all the stops. They are working on twelve hour shifts, constantly bringing a security presence and keeping everyone on alert. In times like this, you are comforted by their professionalism and dedication to duty, to bring these evil perpetrators to justice.

I am sitting in my hotel room in Boston right now. I glance between the television screen and out my window onto Huntingdon Avenue. Public transport has been shut down for the day. Workers have been advised to stay home. Only a couple of convenience stores are open.

The next few hours may tell another tale.

Hopefully the city of Boston will get closure and get back to some degree of normality.
