I don't believe that report either.
The store, Lord & Taylor, is located ACROSS the street. It's not a high rise. Any video they have of individuals would be obscured by the people all lined up at the curb. There were barriers keeping people from going out and crossing the street.
The perps would have to be walking on the side of the street where the bombs went off. The cameras would need to be on that side too.
Plus why would Lord and Taylor have their cameras focused across the street? I'm not buying much that I'm hearing from the 'authorities' about this. Somethings just sound wrong.
Wait a minute here. The camera appears to be about 50 or 60 feet off the ground on top of what appears to be a 3-story building. It would seem to have a good view over and above the top of a crowd across the street.
In addition, if the camera saw an individual walk into it's field of view wearing a back pack, and then the same person leaves the field of view without that back pack, would that not be big clue who planted the bomb?
