You can tell they are different groups

I knew one of you would post those two pictures claiming it was different kids. You might want to adjust your glasses. See the blonde boy in the middle of the group in the top picture? He's wearing jeans, gray sports shoes, a long sleeved black shirt with an image on it and he's carrying a piece of paper. Now, look at the kid in the lead in the second picture. Same kid, same clothes, carrying a piece of white paper. Back to the top picture, see the kid behind the kid I pointed out above? This boy is short, darker blond hair with straight cut bangs, darker shade of baggy blue jeans and a long sleeved gray shirt. Now, look at the kid in the back of the line in the second picture. Same kid. Ok, I'll play along that they might be twins dressed alike and that both sets of twins were split into the same two classes, but it's stretching it too much with one set carrying the white paper.

So two pictures of the same group of kids a few seconds apart — and that proves what??? that only one classroom was evacuated???

These are only two pictures out of the dozens of photos and videos showing kids walking down the hill to the fire station, the parents waiting for them and the multitudes of the parent’s vehicles parked along the road, and witnesses to the evacuations.

Not the same kids. I don't see paper in the one kid's hands and the images on the shirts are not the same.

I see the similarities in the two; they could be the same, although how they completely re-arranged the class in the short distance travelled (the car is the same in both pictures, so they are pretty close to the same location) is problematic.

And the fact that none of the other kids match is also an issue. Several people have papers in their hands as well, so that isn’t definitive.

It seems odd that they would take the kid from the front and the kid from the back, and then move them to the middle, when all the kids are linked together.

That is why I suggest that it is two different classes. Although if all I saw was the one boy you mentioned in the two pictures, I would totally agree with you.

There would have been dozens of these groups, to get all the kids from the school to the firehouse.

Another thing that would suggest the same group rather than two — if the reporter just got out the camera for a few quick shots, it would make sense to have two pictures of the same group.
