Intention was to blow up the fuel tanks.

Likely the accomplices got cold feet and didn’t follow through with their part in the plan.

But was to blow up the tanks. Drive the crowd closer to the hotel and then shoot fish in a barrel. Maybe set off an explosion there as well. Could have been hundreds killed.

He also had an escape plan.

The “lone wolf” story is falling apart.

Do you have a source for this info regarding the tanks?

Maybe detonating the tannerite in the car was of their part of the getaway plan?

Told by other freepers that it’s darn near impossible to set off those tanks. Did he know that?

At any rate, HAD the tanks exploded, McCarren would be shut down for a while and casualties would have increased dramatically.

Maybe the accomplices were the “Hispanic couple” that tried to warn the concert goers.

Where are they? Witnesses saw them and then saw them escorted away, by concert security.

The fact he had no body armor tells me he was not serious about an escape plan. He could have had it on under baggy clothes or dressed like a LEO type officer of some kind.

“Intention was to blow up the fuel tanks.”

Which is oddly out of place given everything else appears very well planned out.

I am also wondering about his car. It has been reported that it had “explosives” in it - and that it was ammonia based. Last night Hannity said massive amounts of Tannerite - which is not an explosive were in the car. Blowing the car would of stopped the cops entry or even delayed them for a long while - even with Tannerite.
