Freepers were monitoring the Bag Cams. You be the judge:

I haven't done the research you have, but distinctly remember at least one post after the big firefight during that time, remarking that there had been a big boom and no one said anything about it -- that we no longer got excited about just a few... I don't remember the time.

There was so much going on all night ("here" time) that a few isolated booms, more or less, weren't going to ring a lot of bells...

Also, we don't know the location WRT the cams, do we? The "residential area" might have been far enough off that it was only a dull rumble (the BBs go off after penetration).

Keep hope alive :-).

I made a comment last night about booms that nobody was noticing. Could that be me? Look under bluefish. I haven't posted a lot since then.

Re. #5452 - good post! TheLion, I don't know about Bag Cam distances, but umbagi makes a good point. BBs penetrate...rumble, may not have registered w/ all the tanks coming into town and the excitement over the Greg Kelly palace interviews.

Keep hope alive :-).

Amen.
