I'm glad we had a greenlit thread for this detailed breakdown of how SWAT took this guy down.

I figure this is a good place for me to give you my recipe for Ratatouille:

Step 1: Make Ratatouille

Here's how it went down.

BLAM!
blam. bamblamblambamblamblambamblamblambamblamblam.

banandar123: Hobodeluxe: I'll bet the camera(s) they has in there were probably in the toys he allowed the kid to have. really small and with 360 deg field of view.

I was thinking something similar to this. They did say that they wouldn't elaborate on the method used to place the cameras in there, so it gives me a feeling it was something a little sneakier than simply lowering a camera down the PVC pipe. So yeah, out of the items known to have been lowered into the bunker, the toys would seem like the best medium for the job.

"Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by,For you may be the next one to die. They wrap you up in a big white sheet From your head down to your feet. They put you in a big black box

And cover you up with dirt and rocks. All goes well for about a week, Then your coffin begins to leak. The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, The worms play pinochle in your snout,

They eat your eyes, they eat your nose, They eat the jelly between your toes. A big green worm with rolling eyes Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes. Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream. You'll spread it on a slice of bread, And this is what you eat when you are dead."

someonelse: Did I misread that, or did it say that the guy's body is still down there? Because, gross.

Reading comprehenshun, apparently you have that....


"Dale County Coroner Woodrow Hilboldt says he had not been able to confirm exactly how Dykes died because the man's body had remained in the bunker. An autopsy is to be conducted in Montgomery once the body is removed."


And the article is dated yesterday and the ordeal was over Monday afternoon so it's been about 50 to 75 hours by now. YUMMY!!!!!


From another article:


"FBI special agents were positioned near the entrance of the bunker and negotiators were able to convince Dykes to approach the bunker door. FBI agents used two explosions to gain entry into the bunker"

Did I misread that, or did it say that the guy's body is still down there? Because, gross.
