    Yes, I have watched the footage. Do I think the pieces you have highlighted are rather extraordinary? In the literal meaning of the word, yes. If you mean, do I find them suspicious within the context of what's happening? No. The lady who you say is "casually strolling through the restaurant" is actually clutching her wrist, where she has been shot, and is probably in a heightened state of shock. There is nothing "miraculous" about the attacker's gun jamming. Bloody lucky for the woman he was aiming at, yes. Guns do get stuck - if you remember, the attempted terrorist attack on a French train recently was foiled because passengers were able to tackle the gunman as his gun jammed. And the terrorist would probably have tried again, were it not for the fact that his getaway car arrived.

    Out of interest, are there any major world events you don't have a conspiracy theory on?

    In my mind, clutching your wrist doesn't limit your ability to move faster than she does - then again I've never been in a situation like that where what you'd normally do doesn't happen so I probably can't speak for her. Having a gun that just fired aimed inches from your head and it jams? Guns jam I'm sure, but that is miraculous in my mind; can't imagine how it felt to be that lady at the time.

    Just because I don't initially believe everything we're told or shown don't assume I'm calling bull**** on it, that wasn't how I intended the original post to come across I was more interested in others' opinions of the footage.

    I don't have the time to look deeply into every world event, but there are a couple as you've apparently noticed.

    The problem is we're preconditioned by what we see in movies and in television drama to assume that a shooting/stabbing/murder happens in a certain way. So when you compare it to things that happen in real life it has little or no resemblance. I'm not going to post links or suggestions but there are literally thousands of videos out there on the internet which can educate you about what one of those things actually looks like.

    I find the video extraordinary in terms of how lucky the ladies were, but I struggle to see how anyone could see some kind of conspiracy theory here. They were just ludicrously fortunate.

    Not as fortunate as those of us sitting at home in Herts watching football on the telly.

    I don't think anyone mentioned this but a couple of days ago the Muslim Council of Great Britain took out a whole page advert in the Telegraph denouncing the attacks. Exactly what some on here were crying out for.

    Yes they probably said they aren't real muslim's and they are all misunderstood.
    They just need a hug by us nasty people.
    Of course had it been a cartoon about their peaceful God then they would have probably been out in force marching somewhere, causing some bother.
    I wish they would just **** off, and take all their apologists with them too.
