Uninterrupted TSBD rooftop Hertz sign time display = no power failure

[John Iacoletti]

I don't follow what you are now babbling about.  Adams was not on the passenger elevator.  She pushed the button to call it but it apparently did not show up.  She did attribute this to a power cut but there is no indication why.  For example, how long did she wait?  It's not compelling or conclusive absent more details.  Yes, a typo.  I will change that for you if it makes you feel better.  In the rush to search the building, police were likely not to be concerned with elevator etiquette and may have left gates open etc.

Did the passenger elevator have a gate?

[John Iacoletti]

I've never seen a passenger elevator that did not at least have an indicator light showing when it's running or being called but now you invent a new desperate claim that she was too stupid to differentiate between the elevator being busy and being out of power.

The indicator lights coincidentally burned out at just that moment.  The odds must be astronomical...

The same as the chances of any power outage happening at any particular time.

False dichotomy.

The same as the chances of any power outage happening at any particular time.

Precisely.

False dichotomy.

Geez what are the chances that whenever Iacoletti sees a possible two choices he'll present this tired old chestnut! Yawn!

Is that somehow supposed to tell you anything about whether the elevators had power when Mooney and Adams tried them?

 That's not the point, I haven't yet seen any presented reason for the conspirators to manipulate the power so long after the assassination and as you said "The same as the chances of any power outage happening at any particular time.", sh!t happens!

Only when you trot out your old chestnut of pretending like there are only 2 possibilities.

What conspirators?  Why is Richard so emotionally invested in there not being a power outage?

[Chris Douglas]

I hadn't noticed if it was said in the thread already but which floor is the power for the elevators on.? Point being, is it possible that the conspirator turned the power off on the way out the door, as a way to slow down anyone from going upstairs (or down) in a hastily manner.?

[Richard Smith]

It's only "plausible" because that's the way you want it to be.  Mooney said "we had no more power on the elevator".  Deal with it.

Again, for the tenth time, no one disputes that Mooney thought there was a power outage.  But that doesn't make it so.  There are other plausible alternatives that have been laid out ad nauseam.  Deal with that Inspector Ding-a-Ling.
