> 7. Who are these LANewsLOUDLABS people? Why are they filming a) the red light at that gas station, b) the accident site shortly after (but going through side streets as opposed to simply going straight and making a right turn?) and c) have an LAPD police scanner (LAPD uses trunked communication, you need a $500+ scanner, of course, accessible to anyone (and legal) with $500.00. But a, b, and c just seem odd...

> 8. You can tell briefly that the car used by "news" above has a silver exterior. I'm not sure of the make/model, does NOT really sound like a V8 to me, maybe a turbo 6... Driver saying "oh shit" seems genuine, if that makes a difference.

If there was a conspiracy here (and I am not saying one way or the other), then why would these people be involved? Why would the conspiracy organizers throw in extraneous details that would only serve to arouse suspicion?

It's like 9/11 conspiracies... if you were a shady CIA dude who wanted to start a war by flying some planes into buildings, why wouldn't you actually just fly planes into buildings? All the things that 9/11 conspiracy theorists point to are not things that would make sense from the perspective from a conspiracy organizer. Thermite, empty drone planes, missles? Why not just actually use a plane?

Similarly, why not just let the local news cover the planned crash as they normally would, or not give a shit if they don't? If I were planning some sort of conspiracy, that's how I'd do it...
