The "secret" of Stretcher Alley

One may wonder why these people were running with the dead kids over an alley between debris. Mr. North leaves that one for us to guess.

Why we cannot have a picture that could say: "these guys where doing their job", or "it's a whole make up!"? Because the media was too interested on emotions, on the show. And one can see it on the photos. Cameramen and photographers nearly jumping over the people there, people in one and the same place being shot from different angles. We have the famous baby scene (but not the way Mr. North puts it). There is even a clear picture of "paparazzi" behaviour when one journalist jumps in front of the running "White Tee-Shirt".

The place? The place is rocks and nothing more. Why shot it? You don't make the frontpages with a bunch of cement dust and broken steel.

Fortunately, some journalists decided to practice a little bit of scenic tourism... They photographed several details at several angles, some of them done after the mess with the wounded and dead... There is even "Stretcher Alley" seen from below. I don't have the time and the will to post them. Besides, I ain't here for another show, specially with corpses and necromaniac conspiracies. If one wishes to check go over Yahoo! and Getty. Maybe you will find new facts I even didn't see. Besides, doing it, one may note another secret of Mr. North: the timestamp "game".

And what about the "secret"? The alley was the clearest path to go through the debris. And , even then, light machines would probably stuck there. Frankly, the only shots showing machines passing through the alley, had a UN transporter poping through it.

So, the alley was not a place for a "stage". It was clearly the best path to get out from the trashcan layed around. The other question is if someone showed a little bit more of emotion for the camera, while crossing the mess.

Still, Mr. North has a point on his sleeve. The "pictoresque" pictures are still far from being understood. But the "stretcher alley" becomes less fashionable.
