Analysis of photos about the Boston Bombing |
Aaron Tang
Aaron Tang was further away from the first explosion site than Ben Thorndike, therefore his area shots can cover more space. He also was able to capture the event over a longer time span. All relevant pictures from his Flickr account, that help to explain how much time has passed between the explosion and the rescue of Jeff Bauman, will be posted here. David McGowan posted a similar analysis of the available photos on his blog a few weeks after, he assumed some of Tang's photos were withheld from publication, because of bigger gaps between the shots.[1]

4. The next relevant picture, skipping four in the Flickr stream, shows Carlos Arredondo, clearly identifiable by clothing and position in the picture following after this, jumping over the fence.

8. The next relevant photo, directly following in the stream, shows a close up on where most of the victims were located, next to the place where the bomb exploded. There is the appearance that the smoke has vanished from the whole scene, except where the circle of victims is centered and this will continue to be the case in the pictures to follow.

10. Next, skipping one in the Flickr stream, with another wide angle. Well known for what some have interpreted to be Craft International operatives[2][3] standing on the street. Carlos searching the ground or being in the process of removing the fence further. The race clock is at 04:11:40.

18. Next, skipping two in the stream. A Boston official entering the scene in the upper right corner, above him the clock is lowered for some unknown reason, the time being 04:13:52, 04:09 minutes since injury for Jeff Bauman. Carlos still in the middle, in the upper left corner it appears that a guy in sports clothing is advising a women to move away.

21. Next and last from the Tang set, skipping two in the stream. Carlos, Jeff, a medical volunteer and an EMT on the 'iconic' wheelchair ride[4] to the medical tent in the upper right corner. Why it is not the EMT giving primary care to Jeff Bauman is to be questioned, the use of a wheelchair with this kind of injury is life threatening, but never called into question by the commercially-controlled media.

22. This is from footage that was broadcasted that day. The clock is at 04:16:16. Nathan Folks did mention in interviews that while HD already was a standard in the US at the time, the live footage of that day was done with older, below HD, equipment. There are high resolution photos from approximately this position, but the clock is not visible. The screenshot is taken from the documentary: The Boston Unbombing

23. Given the severity of the injury and again, the position Bauman is transported in, there appears to be no blood on the ground. Carlos Arredondo not wearing any gloves, the EMT does.[5]

20. More detail to the wound, the severity could certainly (in most cases) lead to the bleeding out of the patient within a few minutes, if not seconds. One must note that Jeff Bauman is still conscious.[6]
