The dents in the bomb’s nose, the lattice markings and the rigging that could be seen in the debris are evidence that the bomb was dropped from an aircraft. Because the Syrian military controls the airspace over Douma, it would be almost impossible for the attack to have been staged by opposition fighters who do not have aircraft.
The black corrosion is evidence supporting the charge that chlorine was used in the attack. The corrosion is similar to that which is caused when metal is exposed to chlorine and water.
How do you explain these observations in your alternative theory of the Douma attacks where the attack was staged or never happened ?
I do not have to explain those observations.
Yes, you do have to explain those observations, if you want your theory (that it was staged, or never happened) to be taken seriously.
Even though I already have and you ignored them - as has the NYTs article ignored them and everything else presented all over the place.
I did not ignore your response.
You posted this alternative theory here :
https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,2272.msg154616.html#msg1546161) The cylinder was planted on the patio before the 7th of april or on the night.
2) The cylinder was partly full with gas, and not necessarily chlorine.
3) There was a 'headchopper' on the patio when the video was taken.
4) Using a spanner he removed the tap/regulator, called down to the guys below and said "Hey ok, start videoing, the tank has frosting on it it now! Quick! Hurry up! Allahu Akbar my brothers!"
5) OR the tap was opened first until it was empty and then he used a spanner to remove the tap without the pressure in the tank.
6) The dead bodies were already dead for a day or several days before the 7th april.
7) They planted the bodies at the scene (not in the basement) as shown in the video.
Several minutes before the video was taken someone went around and sprayed white foam into the noses and mouths of some of the bodies.
which I did NOT ignore : I mentioned that it raises more questions than it answers :
https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,2272.msg154616.html#msg154616- Where did they get the cylinder from, and how did it get damaged ? Did the rebels toss it from high altitude first ? Or did they use a cylinder from one of Assad's previous chlorine attacks on his own people ?
- Which 'gas' did they fill this damaged cylinder with, and if it was chlorine, how and where did they produce the chlorine ? If no chlorine, which gas was it that they filled the cylinder with ?
- Who exactly are these dead people, and how exactly did they die ?
Now, are you going to answer these questions, and explain the observations noted by the NYT under your theory, or are you going to continue to deny all the evidence and continue assert that the attack was staged without providing ANY evidence for that theory ?
