Questioning Qana

This is a good piece looking at the attack on Qana. Was The "“Qana Massacre"” Staged By Hezbollah?

Thus there was an unexplained 7 to 8 hour gap between the time of the helicopter strike and the building collapse.

Long gap.

The roof of the building was intact. Journalist Ben Wedeman of CNN noted that there was a larger crater next to the building, but observed that the building appeared not to have collapsed as a result of the Israeli strike.

I suppose, sometimes, it takes a while for a building to fall down. We saw that on 9/11, but not 7 to 8 hours. The Towers were much larger buildings as well.

Why would the civilians who had supposedly taken shelter in the basement of the building not leave after the post-midnight attack? They just went back to sleep and had the bad luck to wait for the building to collapse in the morning?

Darn good question!

Lebanese rescue teams did not start evacuating the building until the morning and only after the camera crews came. The absence of a real rescue effort was explained by saying that equipment was lacking. There were no scenes of live or injured people being extracted.

Curious.

There was little blood, CNN'’s Wedeman noted: all the victims, he concluded, appeared to have died while as they were sleeping -— sleeping, apparently, through thunderous Israeli air attacks. Rescue workers equipped with cameras were removing the bodies from the same opening in the collapsed structure. Journalists were not allowed near the collapsed building.

Wouldn't "rescue workers" be more concerned with extracting the injured, rather than taking pictures? This is an extremely interesting read. The pictures are quite disturbing, but one thing I noticed, before I even read the caption, was that these poor children appeared to have been dead longer than the terrorist indicate.
