"But that doesn't mean that all the witnesses are correct. Some things may not have correlation to each other."
In virtually every plane crash, somebody (usually more than one person) reports seeing flames before the crash. In most cases, there are no flames UNTIL the crash, but people expect to see flames, so they do.
I'd be absolutely STUNNED if some of those 84,000 people hadn't reported seeing ME types running from the scene.
I think it is actually funny how some interpret the actions of authorities of proof of the facts of the case, rather than trained, preventative policy.
For the most part, I don't think people lie about seeing things, but are simply mistaken. Not that it's ever happened to me personally, of course ; ) Timelines are just very tricky, even when we aren't under pressure
Read my post above.
The girl that told us two ME types ran into where she was at in the stadium after the blast and separated comes from Iran. She lived there until her family was able to get out and come to live with family here about six years ago. She had witnessed similar happenings. She said the look on their faces told her they were involved and then we learned there were more than one bomb. She has been interviewed and not by the press. That's why my daughter and I freaked when we heard her talk.
I had just finished telling my daughter that I wondered how many reports of ME types running away would we hear. Except for her and one guy that witnessed the blast who also ran, nothing has been reported here. We have a large student population of Middle Easterners because of the Sarkey's Energy Center and our Petroleum Engineering School so having ME around campus is nothing new and wouldn't be noticed by most of us. But then we had Moussouri and Berg here on campus too!
