He had explosives in his car outside the Luxor somewhere. He gets that fuel to leak, hits the car to explode, it would have been devastating.
I said two days ago I thought this was a “staged” attack, but perhaps one that went wrong. Paddock was just one element. Whether or not you believe in a shooter on another floor, I think he had something in mind with the anfo bomb. Maybe someone else was to drive it, got cold feet.
A friend of mine with excellent knowledge of firearms had this reaction:
“Well, if he was shooting at those, then it wasn’t a nut. It was a military operation.”
