No - my thoughts about it being a setup was based on the idea that someone could easily fire off some blanks and then Trump would have one of those fake blood packs in his hand, the sort that they use in the movies, to produce the “injury”.
But the fact that bystanders were killed and injured does rule that out. I was just speculating how such an event could have been faked - I don’t seriously think it was in this case.
Also Trump is too dumb to use the blood pack without showing it in his hand to the watching cameras.
Built on an old brick pit, turned into a huge landfill which is heavily contaminated with 50 years of industrial and consumer waste. Nobody really knows what’s under the ground there as records were patchy at best. Best left alone rather than piles drilled for large structures.
Edit: As an indication of what can happen when digging on brownfield land where nobody is really sure what is under the ground, my OH did work in the North of England digging test pits for a proposed development. It’s standard to have all sorts of detection equipment to cover all sorts of eventualities. Digging a small test pit about 2m deep the radiation alarms went off. The site was quickly evacuated and experts brought in. There was widespread radioactive contamination a few metres below the surface. Nobody knew it was there.
This, for me, was an interesting video illustrating how Canadian motorcyclists can avoid buying imported US goods if they want to. As usual with Ryan he gets the message across with a touch of humour.
