You are asking questions - which, as you say, any wise and reasonable person would do, and I am trying to answer them in the only way I see from the images and the video, which are less clear than we would like them be.
I long ago gave up the idea of trying to make sense of the pathetic standard of reporting in connection with this event, right from the beginning, it was evident there was going to be a problem with the simple matter of WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY & HOW.
Since they stopped teaching that at journalism school, it’s all downhill and guesswork, and stupid although attractive faces on the screen.
I can’t argue with that.
