The first order of business should have been to clear all non-Zoo personnel out of the area. One thing witnesses, even the zoo director, can agree on is that the scene surrounding the incident as a ‘mess’ which quickly deteriorated with the gorilla becoming more aggressive as the clamor and screaming from the crowd grew in intensity. All bystanders did was aggravate the situation. They should have been forced to leave if they didn’t self vacate.
How long was the video sequence?
there was not enough time. I am betting they killed the gorilla almost immediately when they were able....unfortunately there was no choice.
