It really helps to see the map of the building. The photos ... well, give a powerful idea of the horrors unfolding.
The map of the building is not perfect by any means; but, it is based on a large number of photographs and videos I collected from news outlets and internet searches. I then viewed them over and over again to glean new details. I also used the Google map photo and one other satellite photo. The unique shape of the building also greatly aided me in making the drawing. The news media went out of its way to avoid sharing a lot of detail but they shared enough! You can see I had to put some question marks on two windows and the room configuration could certainly be off except that there is no question that the Ambassador’s room, hallway, saferoom, and the second bedroom (primary egress room) is accurate but not to scale.
Yes, the detailed floor plan and explanation do bring to life the events that went down there and reveal a lot about the security they did and did not have.
