Most of this is explainable and not a big deal. Frankly, calling the 32’s floor “half way up” a 45 story building would not surprise me. In a situation like that, “half way up” is a very broad range. It means, “not the top and not the bottom.”
Regarding the strobe flashes, two things:
1. I already heard an eyewitness say that the strobe had been going on for a while and they had complained to the hotel management BEFORE any shots were fired.
2. When a strobe light is captured by a video recording device that captures at a slightly different frame rate than the strobe, the strobe can appear to come in bursts. It is because you see it for a few frames, starting at the beginning of the aperture timing of the first frame and ending at the end of the aperture timing of the last frame. Then it is not seen for the few blanks within frames, and then repeats.
I’ve seen this effect in both movies and home videos.
Ok. Good info.
Yeah but one officer early on said he saw muzzle flashes form low down and near the center that would fit with the video showing muzzle flashes and accompanying audio. The cab driver’s video is not the best on that. The phone video from inside the venue shows that 4th (ish) floor muzzleflashes with audio better and they are coming from near the center like the police report.
