Audio Forensics (from Mike Adams)
Post #932
NOTE: The 3 unique distance estimates of shooter-to-podium are updated here.
Mike Adams also goes by the handle, The Health Ranger, and he is an avid shooter and he performed amateur audio forensics on the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Using a screenshot taken from the X-account, In2ThinAir, here is a layout of the crime scene (purple notes added):
Notice how the second-floor sniper team must have been posted behind and above the suspected shooter, indicating that they could have looked down and seen the suspected shooter — if they were being wary and alert to their surroundings, watching the rooftop below them “just in case” somebody tried anything.
There is a conspicuous water tower which would be situated above the right half of this image. The building where the suspected shooter was positioned on is straight north from the stage at bottom right of the image, making the water tower due northeast from the stage and at somewhat greater distance from the stage:
This is important because Mike Adams uncovered 3 unique distances for shooters in the audio file. When bullets get fired from high-powered rifles, they travel at speeds that are 2 to 3 times faster than the speed of sound. Average bullet speed is from 2500 to 3000 feet-per-second (fps) while the speed of sound is only 1129 fps.
This means that an observer will hear the snap of a bullet whizzing by before they hear the pop of the original gunshot out of the muzzle — because the bullet travels faster than sound. Mike found “snap … pop” delays of 0.22 seconds for the first few shots fired, but then found one delay of 0.366 seconds, and one with 0.714 seconds.
When sound delays are checked for distance, you get this kind of analysis:
Cell F21 reveals that a “snap … pop” delay of 0.221 seconds will be found if the shooter was 400 feet away. That’s if average bullet velocity had been 3000 fps. With a slower round averaging only 2500 fps, the inferred distance works out to 460 feet away. And it has been surmised that the suspected shooter was approximately that far away.
The longer delay found by Mike Adams was from a shot coming from 660-760 feet away from the stage. And the longest delay found came from a distance of 1,300-1,480 feet away. A possible shooter on top of the water tower could have been responsible for one of those two shots with the longer delays involved with them.
