From A Closer Look On Syria
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Looks spectacular, but before it's a basis for something serious, wondering what does it actually show. Can it be atmospheric (low fog)? (Another thing to exclude, smoke-producing munition, for visual effect maybe or whatever else non-CW in origin). Can it be said it's definitely to do with chemical attack? The video is similar in location, style, voice-over, to this one on the same channel. Both videos are short 20 s+ bits, the second one has some news channel logo. Is there a full video with both? Why to split into 20 s bits? --Resup (talk) 11:40, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Good questions. In fact, I'm not certain this is even the same day. Worth checking into. But presumably it is, later on ... how long do those big blast plumes take to disappear completely? I don't know, but they're not there. There was a similar white colus beginning in the earlier view, so likely this is that after it spread out. If it's the same day, I suspect this isn't sarin but some effects smoke/vapor/fog, maybe with sarin or similar under it in spots. This would make it look big, but I think if that was all sarin, half the town would be dead. --Caustic Logic (talk) 14:16, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
The logo on the video belongs to HAQ News Agency. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 14:25, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
