Three aerial views from the avalancha!

October 7, 2006

YB send me three aerial views from the avalancha today, you can see that things were jam packed way past the Mariperez elevado. I was in the area in the middle picture, right up front near the stage, where it was hard to move even a few feet. In fact, we had a couple of people faint and it was a mess to move them, they had to be essentially lifted completely above everyone’s head in order to move them to where the paramedics were.

Buses! Yes, there were buses, but at Chavez’ rally in early September we counted close to 900 buses in various pictures, there was nothing on that scale here. Not even close. I find it funny that Chavistas may now find the same tactics “morally outraegous” after their buddy using them for eigth years and they have said nothing. In fact, I have never heard a PSF dissaprove of it. Yes, there were buses, I talked to a couple of girls from COPEI Valencia and their party (still exists!) rented a bus to come.But they did not pay for it with Givernment money and there were certainly more people that came on their own than that. In fact, look at the Ave. Bolivar rally and if you multiply 900 buses by 50 people each, the number is larger than the estimate of how many people were there.

Look at the density of people in the second picture and comprare that with what the VTV showed. Read Alek’s post on this subject. And it is dense all the way beyond the elevado. My pictures show that it was dense at the peak all the way up to Avenida Las Acacias. More on that later, with a comparison of Chavez rally and today’s. Just remember, we never saw aerial pictures from this high up for Chavez’ rally. And guess what? It is the Government that takes these pictures from the intelligence police helicopters! How come they only released low angle picture for Chavez’ rally?
