17/ here's something interesting. Recall the suspicious foam on corpses, Some of which manifested several hours after death. OPCW says foam is "more profound", has "consistency more like viscous foam than secretions typically originating from the upper or lower airways".pic.twitter.com/4EtRPJqFky
18/ here's an example of a woman with no foam in earlier video but copious foam in a later video. OPCW did not discuss this issue nor did they address possibility that too viscous foam might be staged, rather than authentic,pic.twitter.com/FIHUDXFKuW
19/ they observe that "wet hair [on corpses] in an otherwise dry environment is difficult to assess". They arm-wave above sweating. Another possibility is that evidence of smoke exposure was cleaned up before the bodies were presented to videographers.pic.twitter.com/ixPoN3buXg
20/ another point about the woman with foam in tweet 18: the excretion of foam from her forehead seems a little suspicious
21/ re-tweet of calculations by @SlugBub of terminal velocity of helicopter high enough to avoid MANPADs. OPCW failed to show any such calculations.
https://twitter.com/SlugBub/status/989977475017920512 … Their Figure 12 only shows "residual velocity" after impact.pic.twitter.com/RZ5XTpGjNy
22/ note that none of their supposedly scientific figures have captions, let alone captions consistent with a scientific report. Totally inadequate.
23/ OPCW list of "open sources" is pathetically bad. For example, they do not cite Douma Revolution twitter, the earliest source of many documents; only one Douma Revolution facebook and omit Fadi Abdullah youtube. Astounding.
24/ they say that "Only one video showing the cylinder at Location 4 contained metadata and it was recorded on 10 April 2018 21:41:05." This doesnt make sense. Must refer to Yaser al-Doumani video uploaded Apr 11 03:46Z https://www.facebook.com/YASERALDOUMANI2/videos/993511674136138/ …pic.twitter.com/xQZRuafMuG
25/ but Yaser uploaded photo of Location 4 on Apr 9 21:39Z so video was taken before then. Video probably recorded on April 8. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=993401170813855&set=a.349148485239130&type=3&theater …pic.twitter.com/VtdeO1VVUK
26/ @michakobs showed that Yaser video of bedroom, though uploaded later, was earlier than Bilal abu Salah video in real time by examination of bed https://twitter.com/MichaKobs/status/994297930537369601 … and by shadows.
27/ Bilal abu Salah video https://twitter.com/1BilalAbuSalah/status/982956657624911873 … of bedroom cylinder uploaded at Apr 8 12:21Z, placing Yaser video earlier than that. What does OPCW metadata mean? Hard to know when they don't show their work or even give citations.
28/ another corollary. OPCW says "only digital information that contained metadata was evaluated". They only considered one bedroom video. Presumably excluding the Bilal video. But its upload time of Apr 8 12:21Z is a solid terminus ante quem. No valid reason not to use.pic.twitter.com/ktmmLPyBab
30. OPCW has new pictures and diagram of bedroom cylinder. It has three wings at 120 degree angles and wheel array. I've denoted wing opposite wheels as A, B, C clockwise looking from non-nozzle end. Pictures here from TVZvezda. C-wing is crumpled. B-wing bent towards wheelspic.twitter.com/GVAioOwdYn
31. OPCW Fig.14 has no captions (like rest of crappy documentation). Photos shown here are in bedroom after rotation 90 deg counterclockwise (looking from non-nozzle end) and in similar orientation after move. Crumpled C wing and flattened area (dashed) on top. Where is A-wing?pic.twitter.com/Y1xjn9aca8
32. OPCW Fig 14 bottom left show cylinder in same rotation as in photo in 31, but from other end. A-wing is behind cylinder and not visible. Crumpled C-wing on top, wheel array in front with B-wing bent towards same angle as wheel array.pic.twitter.com/tHjqF40JJC
33/ they estimate that bedroom cylinder was traveling at 60 m/s at contact with roof. Lines in Fig 12 appear to show cases of 10 and 25 m/s residual velocity after contact.pic.twitter.com/xF18k8lfFU
34/ OPCW says that bedroom cylinder hit roof with long axis horizontal thru hole parallel to wall. Cylinder went thru roof, presumably hits floor with right N-S and E-W momentum to bounce onto bed.pic.twitter.com/UPDLA2ZMU2
35/ during bounce onto bed, cylinder managed to maintain same rotation i.e. side flattened by impact remained down. Surprising that there was no angular momentum.
36/ in addition to issues arising from bedroom cylinder by itself, seems to me that issues are much worse when bedroom cylinder and balcony cylinder are considered jointly e.g. A) rigging on bedroom cylinder is more or less intact, while rigging on balcony cylinder was separated
37/ as thoroughly as a fish being fileted. B) bedroom cylinder landed on its side (long axis horizontal) while balcony cylinder landed long axis vertical; C) puncture from vertical impact ought to be much more intense, but only bedroom cylinder fully perforated concrete roof (and
38/ still had residual velocity to continue on to bed.) D) in contrast, balcony cylinder, after perforating roof, did a sort of seemingly gravity-defying mid-air pirouette before toppling over with its nose pointing towards hole, but not in it.
39/ in respect to balcony cylinder, OPCW stated that "FFM team noted that a similar crater was present on a nearby [adjacent] building." But rather than attribute common cause to two identical craters e.g. shells, OPCW developed elaborate theory for balcony.pic.twitter.com/AVDK141QRC
40/ at the balcony, NYT-Forensic Architecture did commendable 3-D model last June. Balcony on N side of building. Crater is towards SE corner of balcony, about 1-1.5 m from corner.pic.twitter.com/zFXDNaEBah
41/ here is NYT-Forensic and photo view looking down and to the NW. There is a notch in the short abutment defining the edge of the roof, at the SE top corner of the balcony.pic.twitter.com/t4eWGPaymW
42/ OPCW theory is that near-vertical cylinder at 50 m/s (vs 60 m/s at bedroom) smashed through roof abutment at top SE corner, slowing to 30 m/s. Their model doesnt show rigging or nozzle (Bedroom example and diagram shown at right for comparison.) Nozzle never found.pic.twitter.com/YLBYpzXItY
43/ second stage of OPCW theory is that near-vertical cylinder now traveling at 30 m/s perforated roof. In their calculation, zone of "complete disintegration" consistent with observed size of crater (shown at right). After ~25 sec, cylinder in model comes to approximate stop.pic.twitter.com/uTQi7RuK31
44/ after perforating the crater, instead of continuing to floor (as in bedroom scene), balcony cylinder paused - seemingly in mid-air as all concrete beneath pulverized - and tipped over onto its side. All hypothesized rigging neatly fileted and dumped towards north of balconypic.twitter.com/yOBpJAZeAs
45/ diagrams here from NYT https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/06/24/world/middleeast/douma-syria-chemical-attack-augmented-reality-ar-ul.html …. Bottom left diagram identifies rigging in debris on north part of balcony. During contact, rigging separated from cylinder. They hypothesized screen came down during impact.pic.twitter.com/Epo4T0xbxp
46/ something new: OPCW reports previously unreported "viscous liquid" observed at bedroom scene but shamefully do not report what it was. They said viscous liquid also on gloves on stairs. These gloves showed explosives, insecticides. What does it mean? Why didn't OPCW explain?pic.twitter.com/shF8hYHST7
47/ another oddity. in discussion of Location 4, OPCW report that "round object similar to funnel cap found at Location 2" was observed in Location 4 video but no longer there. However, Location 2 discussion never mentioned funnel cap. What was it? Was it tested?pic.twitter.com/XjIWa6nxIU
48/ another apparent OPCW error. They say that on Apr 7 night, "the presence of a strong odour prevented anyone without respiratory protection from approaching" the third floor and terrace. However, Fadi Abdullah video shows cameraman returning without respiratory protectionpic.twitter.com/BdLNlKTqpA
