Yes, the Sheriff did. He’d stopped shooting Bt then and barricaded himself in. The police monitored the door and what was happening whilst evacuating that floor and above and below before breaching.Has anyone explained why it took the police an hour from when they were outside his room to when they broke in? According to the published timeline they got to the room at 10:20 and blew open the door at 11:20.

Surprised there's been no real mean mention of the glass that would have fallen from the smashed windows as he was about to start shooting. I haven't read anything at all about anybody who walked by at the time or whatever. I know it wouldn't have prevented anything but i just found it odd that it there's very little reference to it.
Looking at a plan view of it, I'd say it would have landed on the roof of the podium area upon which the towers were built so unlikely to have been noticed.Surprised there's been no real mean mention of the glass that would have fallen from the smashed windows as he was about to start shooting.

Makes sense. I guess if he was still shooting they would have had to risk shooting their way in earlier.Yes, the Sheriff did. He’d stopped shooting Bt then and barricaded himself in.

A quick point on the glazing....at that height it should have been toughened/laminated curtain walling system.Could it have fallen on a flat roof, and so not be noticeable?
Or been taped so it didn't fall.

Not easy at all to bash through with a hammer, which is what we have been told?
Possibly he blew them through with a specialist bullet round?....just speculation.

The whole thing certainly seems to have been meticulously researched and planned - but one thing he couldn’t have tested was 'what type of force was required to smash the windows?'
I know there would have been other unknowns but that was a crucial one. So yeah, relying on just a hammer would have been a somewhat calculated risk.
The glass wouldn’t have been bullet proof. If he couldn’t break it with a hammer, the first few bullets would have shot it out.The whole thing certainly seems to have been meticulously researched and planned - but one thing he couldn’t have tested was 'what type of force was required to smash the windows?'

Why is it important how he broke the window? Did you see two broken windows? I know I did. Did a gunman not shoot out of them? Again I think that happened.
What difference does the implement used have any bearing on the attack?
Am I missing a conspiracy theory?
I'm genuinely baffled at why how he managed to smash reinforced glass is a concern.
Can you expand why it is even a question?
Hello MagicPole, thanks for your contribution.
Speaking for myself, I’m trying to make sense of what happened.
I like trying to understand humanity - maybe that’s a futile exercise, but i prefer to be as knowledgable as possible about us and our behaviour rather than be confused by it.
This is a particularly confusing human scenario and, if I can understand it a litte bit more by getting an answer to a seemingly inoccuous element of it, then it begins to resolve itself - far from fully of course, but jigsaws aren’t completed by just one piece, but can’t be completed without it.
That’s how my mind works, and I make no apologies if it doesn’t align with your way of thinking or processing.
Claymores judging by popular opinion in the US... Why, because the military have them and Joe Public therefore has to buy them just in case of the coupNightmare scenario for them. One entry point,they would have needed to evacuate in case he had homemade bombs, C4, who knows what this cock might have gotten hold of. I think an hour is pretty decent all things considered.
Fair enough. Keep me up to date with how the minutiae pans out and where it points to in gaining that clear picture.
My view would be this. He has been in the hotel before and knuws the windows are needing broken.
He starts a conversation with a staff member.,he us a high roller so they lick his arse.
I'm a bit freaked that I will fall out if the window if I fall against it.
Don't worry sir the glass is super strength anti falling out mix of sand and titanium.
Ah, he googles that type of glass resistance and shatter point.
I will need a whatever or I will shoot them out.
Now, I'm not a mass myrderer but I know I would find out what type of glass and what it needed to twat them. The fact the windows are broken strongly suggests he had that covered.
I was wondering if you had heard of a theory that included he was helped. It was an inside job etc.
Keep thinking weird it's good for you, but don't be surprised when people like me ask for an explanation as to the importance.
I'm inquisitive.
19 assault rifles and 200 bullet holes in the lobby walls, already fired at a hotel staff member who was shot in the leg?
I'm not a SWAT expert but I think that might have played a part in the delay.
Either that or they used the stairs and were a bit fat so needed a breather.
Other than that no idea.
They would have used the lift.I know you were probably bring flippant but if they did 32 floors of stairs they'd probably be worn out. I'm guessing they were carrying about 50lbs of gear when you take into account their ballistic armor, helmets, long gun, pistol, ammunition for both guns, flash bang grenades and whatever breathing tools they'd have. This would be in addition to their body weight. SWAT operators typically aren't fatties. :)
I agree.They would have used the lift.
