Did Austin Miller just See Steam?

[Duncan MacRae]

Actually, S. M. Holland said the smoke lingered...and that is the exact word he used...

Holland used both of the terms "Smoke" and "Steam"

Starting at 1.12

    That steam pipe is not close to the area of the picket fence that Skinny Holland said he saw smoke. Let's get that straight. I don't believe that Wiegman Film still frame shows smoke. But trying to attach that steam pipe to the Holland story is stretching things.

You are right about Holland but some of the other supposed smoke witnesses placed the smoke closer to the steam pipe.

  That steam pipe is very close to the grate. There are people claiming a shooter fired from the steam pipe area and then escaped by going down that grate/underground pipe. I don't believe that scenario, but claiming alleged smoke was steam only fuels this theory. I have never heard or read about steam actually leaking from that pipe. I understand they were in the process of moving that pipe, but claiming steam was leaking from it sounds as desperate as a possible shooter escaping via that grate. The Wiegman Film still frame to me, shows something high and close to the Triple Underpass. I think the, "tree leaves turning color", explanation does make sense. This does not address Holland's story, but it does put the steam pipe stuff to bed.
