I see no evidence for your position. Whereas the evidence in the film shows the careful Scrivener7 Jul 18 #20
You need evidence, not me. Ball is in your court. With wind & camera movement shown, you need crane operator evidence Bernardo de La Paz Jul 18 #22
See if you can come up with any evidence for your position, Bernardo. In the meantime, have a lovely day. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #23

Scrivenor7, I went and looked at the video and as least regards the alleged lowering of the flag, harumph Jul 18 #42
