WATCH: Shocking new video timeline of DC insurrection combines videos with 3D map

[LiberalArkie]

The Washington Post published a powerful new reconstruction of the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

"To reconstruct the pandemonium inside the Capitol for the video above, The Washington Post examined text messages, photos and hundreds of videos, some of which were exclusively obtained. By synchronizing the footage and locating some of the camera angles within a digital 3-D model of the building, The Post was able to map the rioters' movements and assess how close they came to lawmakers — in some cases feet apart or separated only by a handful of vastly outnumbered police officers," the newspaper explained.

"The Post used a facial-recognition algorithm that differentiates individual faces — it does not identify people — to estimate that at least 300 rioters were present in footage taken inside the Capitol while police were struggling to evacuate lawmakers. The actual number of rioters is probably greater, since the footage analyzed by The Post did not capture everyone in the building," the newspaper noted.x

10. Thank you

[silverweb]

11. You're most welcome.

I was delighted to find out about it recently myself, since I don't subscribe and have limited access to articles.

12. +1

14. This is enraging. Those Republican Senators and Reps tried to delay the evacuation.

Gosar, et. al., should face charges.


Thank you for posting the video.

[silverweb]

15. They certainly should.

Any legislator who had knowledge of or aided the insurrection in any way needs to be charged and prosecuted. I believe Nancy Pelosi has already indicated that will be a priority.

18. Great post.

7. Is it really wise for WaPo to show detailed floor plans of the Capitol building?

If the January 6th insurrectionists had had these floor plans, the death toll would likely have been much higher and included Pence.

8. In the video, they said that they did not expose anything.

9. Thanks. I haven't watched the video yet; figured it would ruin my sleep.

I did see the floor plans on the Washington Post site, but at least the rooms weren't labeled.
But it disturbed me to see a preview where Eugene Goodman lures the crowd away from the Senate galley, next to a floor plan showing where exactly that happened.

13. They did not show the safe room that as used, or the locations of the underground passages.

Probably stuff that would be found as handouts to visitors.

16. thanks ! nt

17. Security Will Be Recalibrated

I am certain that any security plans and locations will likely be updated, changed and recalibrated in the months ahead.

19. I see this

and, my God, I am still furious. Who in the hell do these people think they are?

[Quixote1818]

20. The cop who fired the shot was justified. That could have gotten out of control very quickly

and there were congress people just down the hall. The rioters thinking about going in at that point were most certainly having second thoughts.

[Quixote1818]

21. Seems like any entrance should have steel barrers come up from the ground to block people out.

Windows too.

And what if someone had had a powerful bomb? They could have killed everyone in half the building.

22. just makes me so sick

and sad for this world
