Fire truck killing recumbent survivor
Am I the only one who has closely examined the existing video footage?
One can clearly see the moment this person is crushed. The vehicle manoeuvring, the fireman who discovers the body, looking down appalled…signalling for help, others running over, frantic animated conversation, covering the body.
Correlating this with other viewpoints one can determine with great precision not only that this occurs in exactly the correct position, but, I am sorry to say, that there was no foam covering the body at that time.
I guess no-one really wants to know this.
This is of course, only my personal conclusion, from running the available footage through many times, and correlating with various stills and helicopter footage. But the actual sequence of events, from the long-distance high-power footage from across the bay…well..once you comprehend the fire-crews reactions, it becomes crystal clear.
Find the footage, run it for yourself.
Sadly, I doubt this post will survive long.
PS. Don't bother looking unless you can use the highest available resolution…only then can you read the body language of the tiny figures, see the waving arms and the desperate conference with superiors

Reason: correct omission
