Why the Mic Theory Might Be Possible… But Not Likely

[00:00] Hello and welcome back to Trigger Smart.

[00:01] In the last video, we covered if Charlie

[00:03] faked his death or not or the squib

[00:05] theory. Now, in this one, many of you

[00:06] have asked me to cover the Charlie Kirk

[00:08] exploding mic or device under his shirt

[00:10] theory. Now, many channels have covered

[00:12] this, including Paramount Tactical last

[00:14] night with his guest, Mr. Bednars, but

[00:16] the argument for it is never strong or

[00:18] backed by historic examples or data.

[00:21] It's just opinions and blurry footage or

[00:23] guesses. Now, I didn't see any

[00:24] compelling evidence for it during that

[00:26] episode, but I did some digging, and I

[00:28] think what I found will at least be eye

[00:30] opening and possibly quite surprising to

[00:32] many of you. Now, there are a few main

[00:34] things that I knew had to be in place in

[00:36] order to make this theory even close to

[00:38] plausible. First, the reaction of

[00:40] Charlie had to be taken into account.

[00:42] His decorticate posture, the neck wound,

[00:45] supposed vertebrae damage, and

[00:47] cavitation that has been caught on some

[00:48] cameras. Now, the cavitation possibly

[00:50] caused a necklace to be ejected, but an

[00:52] explosion from a device under a shirt

[00:54] could theoretically do the same thing.

[00:57] Second, the audio forensic engineers

[00:59] have claimed that there was a supersonic

[01:01] event of some sort. So, many who don't

[01:03] buy the front shot theory have just

[01:05] added that maybe Tyler someone else

[01:08] fired a missed shot, whether on purpose

[01:10] or not, to account for that sonic

[01:12] signature that was synced to the device

[01:14] under his shirt. Third, people have

[01:17] talked at length that Charlie had a

[01:19] wireless mic, audio pack, squib, or

[01:22] other device under his clothing. Peak

[01:24] Prosperity in his latest video also

[01:26] clearly showed the mic or something else

[01:28] attached to the front of his shirt on

[01:30] the right side. And fourth, if the

[01:32] device or the mic exploded on Charlie's

[01:34] right chest side, how did it create a

[01:37] hole on the left side of his neck? Let's

[01:40] get into it. Cavitation is the formation

[01:42] and collapse of vapor filled bubbles in

[01:43] a liquid due to a rapid drop in pressure

[01:46] causing damage through shock waves and

[01:48] microjets.

[01:49] So it just happens that the human body

[01:52] has a lot of liquid in it. And then I

[01:54] asked Google, can a small shaped charge

[01:56] cause cavitation in the human body? And

[01:59] it says yes, a shape charge can cause

[02:01] cavitation in the human body through

[02:02] extreme negative pressures generated by

[02:03] the accompanying blast wave and

[02:05] hypervelocity jet. Now, I asked it how

[02:08] much of a charge or how much explosive

[02:10] would be needed to make this happen. And

[02:12] of course, it's not going to answer me.

[02:14] And it said that it cannot tell me how

[02:15] to make a bomb, which is not what I was

[02:16] asking it. Um, but understandable. None

[02:20] of the chat GBT or any of the tools will

[02:21] give me an answer to that. Um, I'm

[02:23] pretty curious about that. If anyone

[02:24] knows, put it down in the comments. And

[02:26] this is not for nefarious reasons. This

[02:28] is because I want to know, could there

[02:29] be enough explosive in the mic or

[02:31] something similar to actually cause

[02:32] cavitation in a human body? And then it

[02:34] goes on to say mechanisms of cavitation

[02:37] in this context shape charge jet. A

[02:39] shape charge produces a focused high

[02:41] velocity metal jet that penetrates

[02:43] targets. And we're going to see a uh

[02:45] visual representation of that here

[02:47] shortly. This hyper velocity penetration

[02:49] creates a significant temporary wound

[02:50] cavity and biological tissue. And then

[02:52] the other way is through the blast wave

[02:54] itself. The detonation also creates a

[02:56] powerful shock blast that travels

[02:58] through the body's tissues and fluids,

[02:59] particularly airfield organs like the

[03:01] lungs, ears, and intestines, as well as

[03:03] cerebral spinal fluid. And that's going

[03:06] to be important when we start looking at

[03:08] the effects and why this might have

[03:10] caused certain things with what we saw.

[03:12] The subsequent collapse of cavitation

[03:14] bubbles releases significant energy,

[03:16] creating microjets and local shock waves

[03:18] to cause additional tissue damage

[03:20] independent of the initial penetration.

[03:23] Now, this is a large shape charge, but I

[03:25] want you to see this. So, the shape

[03:26] charge is actually here on the top, if

[03:28] you can see my mouse here. So, it's

[03:30] pointing towards that little cone. It's

[03:33] like an upside down thing you would use

[03:34] to put oil into your vehicle. And the

[03:37] explosion happens inside of this

[03:38] cylinder, gets funneled, and then

[03:41] directed through this tube.

[03:46] >> Wow.

[03:47] See what we've done.

[03:49] >> And as you can see, this is a bigger

[03:51] one. very very explosive, very powerful,

[03:53] but the whole point is that it went up,

[03:56] right? So, it was directed upwards. And

[03:58] then here on ballistic high speed, we

[03:59] have another example. And in this case,

[04:00] they have a shape charge going into a

[04:03] human analog. In this case, this is

[04:05] ballistic gel that has the uh simulated

[04:08] skull and stuff in it as well.

[04:12] >> What? He's got [laughter] an Arab. Look

[04:13] at Did it blow out his eyes? Okay. So

[04:15] now you can see here this one obviously

[04:17] is bigger than one that would be

[04:19] possibly inside of a device on him. But

[04:21] it gives you the the idea that they can

[04:24] direct where the explosion goes and even

[04:26] have projectiles with that explosion

[04:27] like a bullet. And then they can also in

[04:30] this case there's a very big pressure

[04:32] wave. That's the biggest takeaway from

[04:34] this video is that there's a very

[04:36] powerful pressure wave that happens that

[04:37] we don't see with the naked eye.

[04:39] >> And uh down his spine a little bit

[04:41] >> right there.

[04:42] >> Painted your concrete again. Tread.

[04:43] >> Yeah.

[04:44] >> You're welcome. Yeah.

[04:45] >> All right. So, what I wanted to show

[04:46] there is there was obviously a lot of

[04:48] damage. So, people are saying things

[04:50] like if there was an explosion,

[04:52] especially right here on his shirt, then

[04:54] there's a pretty good chance that the

[04:55] shirt should be shredded. It should be

[04:58] burnt. It was a white shirt. It'd be

[04:59] very obvious or the shirt would have a

[05:01] complete blowout with an explosion. Now,

[05:04] with a shaped charge, even with this

[05:06] one, you can see that it is not just a

[05:12] little directed blast that only goes one

[05:14] direction. It's a full explosion. It's

[05:16] just that the projectile or whatever uh

[05:18] thing they're trying to aim at gets hit

[05:20] with a majority of the force. All right.

[05:23] And then here we have SY simulations.

[05:25] And you can see as I play this through,

[05:28] the internal combustion happens. It

[05:30] explodes.

[05:32] And then what happens is

[05:35] this projectile takes its shape as it

[05:38] flies through the air.

[05:40] And I'll speed this up a little bit

[05:41] here. And you can see it basically forms

[05:45] a jacket like you would have on a

[05:46] bullet. And then that goes through and

[05:50] that will penetrate

[05:52] through the target. The size of that

[05:54] wound depends on how much that thing

[05:56] expands or contracts as it's being

[05:58] formed. And in a lot of cases, it's also

[06:01] made out of copper. And this is

[06:03] typically what cavitation looks like

[06:04] from a bullet or a projectile. But from

[06:07] an explosion, the cavitation would

[06:09] happen in a larger area. It wouldn't be

[06:12] as as uh condensed or centralized as

[06:14] this.

[06:20] Can you see that huge expansion

[06:27] and even an explosion?

[06:29] And that was from Fort Scott munitions.

[06:31] But as you can see in that one, there

[06:33] was a huge amount of expansion. And this

[06:35] has been shown, for example, in the peak

[06:37] prosperity video where he shows the neck

[06:39] expanding. Granted, the ballistic gel is

[06:43] not a perfect one to one with human

[06:45] flesh. We have muscle, we have tendons,

[06:48] we have other connective tissue and

[06:50] fascia. So the gel would probably expand

[06:53] and be a little bit more active than

[06:54] what you would see in the actual human

[06:56] body. But it just shows you how much

[06:58] energy that's the main thing that it

[07:00] shows is how much energy is going into

[07:01] the human body when this happens. All

[07:03] right, so fair enough. People are going

[07:04] to say, how do you know that there's

[07:07] that happening? How do you know that's

[07:08] actually causing damage? Well, we have

[07:10] this paper here, scientific evidence for

[07:12] hydrostatic shock, which is another word

[07:14] for cavitation. That's the original

[07:15] scientific word. And this was done by

[07:17] Military Academy in New York, West

[07:19] Point. This paper reviews the scientific

[07:21] support for a ballistic pressure wave

[07:22] radiating outward. I highlighted a few

[07:25] key sections. It says he avoided the

[07:27] ambiguous use of the term shock because

[07:29] it can refer to either a kind of

[07:31] pressure wave associated with explosions

[07:33] and supersonic projectiles or to a

[07:36] medical condition in the body. So, he's

[07:38] also talking about shock that you can

[07:39] get from some kind of trauma. But in

[07:41] this case, obviously, we're talking

[07:43] about the explosions

[07:45] and supersonic projectiles. Most people

[07:48] have only been talking about the

[07:49] projectiles, right? People are saying

[07:51] the 306. I know um channels like

[07:54] Paramount Tactical obviously he has

[07:56] significant weapons experience. Um he he

[08:00] knows what he's talking about. So when

[08:01] it comes to rifle rounds and explosions

[08:03] and things, he's very familiar with this

[08:05] stuff. So I'm sure he knows in addition

[08:07] to the supersonic projectiles like the

[08:09] 306 bullets um that are loaded a certain

[08:11] way, there's also explosions that also

[08:15] cause pressure waves and can cause

[08:17] cavitation. Then we have here other

[08:19] World War II era scientists noted remote

[08:21] pressure wave effects in the peripheral

[08:23] nerves. Now you know we saw that

[08:25] dorticate posture and people said he had

[08:27] to have been shot in the brain or

[08:28] something directly.

[08:31] There was support for the idea of remote

[08:32] neural effects of ballistic pressure

[08:34] waves in the medical and scientific

[08:36] communities. This is back from 2010

[08:39] department of physics United States

[08:40] military academy. Then we have some

[08:42] parallels with the blast or explosions

[08:44] which is the piece that I really want to

[08:46] focus on. A shock wave can be created

[08:48] when fluid is rapidly displaced by an

[08:50] explosive

[08:51] or a projectile. Blast and ballistic

[08:54] pressure waves have physical

[08:55] similarities. They also have

[08:57] similarities in how they cause neural

[08:59] effects in the brain. In tissue, both

[09:01] types of pressure waves have similar

[09:03] magnitudes, duration, and frequency

[09:04] characteristics. Both have been shown to

[09:06] cause damage in the area of the brain

[09:07] known as the hippocampus. It has been

[09:09] hypothesized that both can reach the

[09:11] brain from the thoracic cavity via major

[09:15] blood vessels. So they're saying that

[09:18] the shock wave or the pressure wave in

[09:20] this case from an explosion or from the

[09:23] bullet whatever happened can travel

[09:26] through major blood vessels to other

[09:27] parts of the body. And in this case

[09:29] they're saying the brain. They observe

[09:31] significantly reduced electric activity

[09:33] in the brain via EEG readings from pigs

[09:36] shot on the thigh. Now, in this case,

[09:38] they didn't even shoot it in the brain

[09:39] or in the upper body. They shot a pig in

[09:41] the leg and it affected their EEG to

[09:44] their brain. So, could that explain the

[09:46] decorticate posture that we're seeing?

[09:49] Whether it was from an explosion or the

[09:51] shot itself if it was a bullet, could

[09:54] that have caused a pressure wave like

[09:56] they're saying in this paper to go to

[09:58] the brain and mess with his brain

[09:59] functionality and make him seize up as

[10:01] though he got shot in the brain and had

[10:02] damage directly to his brain? Remote

[10:04] pressure wave effects in the spine and

[10:06] internal organs. The brain is not the

[10:08] only organ subject to remote pressure

[10:10] wave effects. In a study of handgun

[10:12] injury, Certivant found that pressure

[10:14] waves from a bullet impact the torso can

[10:16] reach the spine. Moreover, a focusing

[10:19] effect from concave services can

[10:21] concentrate the pressure wave on the

[10:23] spinal cord, producing significant

[10:26] injury. This is consistent with other

[10:28] work showing remote spinal cord injuries

[10:30] from ballistic impacts. So basically

[10:33] what they're saying in this paper is

[10:34] that from a bullet or a projectile

[10:37] hitting the body and causing cavitation

[10:39] or an explosion or explosive shaped

[10:44] charges and things like that causing an

[10:46] explosion. Both can cause cavitation in

[10:48] the body that cavitation can travel

[10:51] through blood vessels

[10:53] which made me think of something. What

[10:55] about that injury? Do you think

[10:58] cavitation from an explosion in the

[10:59] chest? Now again, this is just theories,

[11:02] right? I'm just exploring this idea

[11:04] based on what they're saying. Could an

[11:06] explosion on his chest

[11:08] cause a pressure wave through the veins

[11:11] and arteries and cause it to all that

[11:13] pressure to build up and come out of his

[11:15] neck like we saw everything kind of

[11:17] spill out? I don't know. What do you

[11:19] think? Put it down in the comments. So,

[11:21] a lot of you have said in other videos

[11:23] that had nothing to do with this, that

[11:25] there's no way that this tiny little

[11:27] device,

[11:28] like this DJI mic, for example, there's

[11:31] no way that could have enough explosive

[11:34] to cause the issues or a shaped charge

[11:36] with a projectile.

[11:38] Well, I just want to point out that

[11:40] historically, you have this thing like

[11:42] this here. This was a Russian lipstick

[11:45] that fired a bullet. So something the

[11:47] size of a lipstick, this was decades

[11:50] ago, was firing a bullet out of it and

[11:52] it was fatal obviously at close

[11:54] distances.

[11:56] So this has been done for a long time.

[11:57] This is nothing new. And you have

[11:59] devices like this. It's a ring for women

[12:02] and it's firing these little projectiles

[12:05] out of it. So I mean at close distance,

[12:07] this could be fatal if someone took this

[12:09] and put it right up to your karate or

[12:11] something and and shot this little thing

[12:13] into it. I mean, theoretically they

[12:15] could be fatal. So, these were old spy

[12:18] gadgets. And then here we have the peak

[12:20] prosperity video, and I just wanted to

[12:21] show you the cavitation from here. Make

[12:23] sure you go check this one out. This was

[12:24] a very thorough video. They spent, I

[12:26] think, $10,000 plus dollars on this to

[12:28] test this theory out. But here's the

[12:30] high-speed cavitation that he shows.

[12:31] >> Outline of his neck area and t-shirt

[12:34] neck area, neck size. And that same

[12:37] thing has just been transposed and moved

[12:38] down. And you can clearly see his neck

[12:40] is bulging.

[12:42] >> So, can you see that clearly? Just look

[12:44] at the size of that ring that he drew,

[12:46] that blue ring. And then he brought it

[12:48] down the exact one. And you can see that

[12:50] on the back of it for sure. And on the

[12:53] front and side over here, you can see

[12:55] his tissue bulging. That's where that

[12:58] cavitation question comes in because the

[13:01] biggest issue I would have with this

[13:03] theory of an exploding mic, especially

[13:05] like an exploding device, is that it

[13:08] would have to cause some kind of

[13:09] cavitation or be able to replicate this

[13:12] effect that we can see on this camera.

[13:14] And now granted, this was not a

[13:15] high-speed camera that was recording

[13:16] this, and this just happened to be maybe

[13:18] a lucky catch in the frame rate that

[13:20] they were using, which I believe was 30.

[13:22] Um, you would typically not see this.

[13:24] This happens so fast. Can an explosion

[13:27] caused that? That's the question. And

[13:30] based on the research paper and other

[13:31] things that I've looked at with you, it

[13:33] seems like it is possible. All right, so

[13:35] now this part again, credit to Peak

[13:37] Prosperity, this is where he shows the

[13:39] cavitation from the shot from the front.

[13:41] I believe in this case they actually

[13:42] shoot down through the top but they also

[13:44] do one from the front and it gets the

[13:45] same result. Watch this cavitation

[13:47] >> what we actually saw that day. So that's

[13:49] what it looks like in real speed. Wow.

[13:51] What happened? Hard to say. Let's watch

[13:54] that more slowly. Frame by frame. First,

[13:57] second frame,

[13:59] third frame. What is even happening

[14:02] >> now? Look at that. Look how

[14:05] So anyone who says that cavitation

[14:07] couldn't have happened from a bullet

[14:08] shot, this clearly shows that it could.

[14:10] Obviously in gel, not exact to body, but

[14:13] the hydrostatic shock happens in both

[14:16] because they're both fluid. They're both

[14:17] liquid. In the human body, it might be

[14:19] even more pronounced and a little bit

[14:21] more violent. But if you see here, I

[14:23] mean, the neck has gone up and

[14:24] stretched. You see all kinds of warping

[14:26] and stuff inside, and you can see

[14:28] bulging all throughout the t-shirt. And

[14:31] he repeated this a few different times,

[14:33] and the chain popped off and everything

[14:34] just like we saw in the other videos.

[14:37] The question is, could this same type of

[14:39] thing happen with an explosive? And what

[14:42] that does now is bring us over to

[14:43] Cameron Vance. He has this video. Was it

[14:45] really Charlie's mic? I bought the same

[14:47] mic to test it. So, he goes through the

[14:49] process that kind of like Peak

[14:51] Prosperity is doing with the 306 shot.

[14:53] He's he did the same thing with the mic.

[14:55] So, this is shown an example. He's not

[14:58] using ballistic gel. This is a bob

[15:01] dummy. So, this isn't going to

[15:02] theoretically show the cavitation the

[15:04] same way that it might in a human

[15:05] analog, but just kind of look what

[15:07] happens. So, um, he takes this stick and

[15:10] he holds the mic or whatever explosion

[15:13] he has in there. He's holding it against

[15:14] the chest. Now, this isn't going to be a

[15:17] one to one for what would actually

[15:18] happen for many reasons. One being that

[15:21] you don't have a analog, so you don't

[15:23] have the ballistic gel. He's holding the

[15:26] explosion in place so it's not free to

[15:28] move around and do what it would

[15:29] typically do if it was just like a mic

[15:31] on a magnet on his shirt. And then of

[15:34] course in this case, we don't know what

[15:36] the exact explosive amount is. He he

[15:38] might say in the video. Make sure you go

[15:39] check it out. But it's really

[15:40] interesting. So watch this explosion

[15:41] here.

[15:43] >> Magnet.

[15:48] >> The lifeguard doesn't have any slide

[15:49] action.

[15:50] >> So if you look at this here, he's

[15:51] showing that it's clearly dirty. So, if

[15:53] there's any kind of explosive uh

[15:55] ammunition, if there's any kind of

[15:58] gunpowder or some other kind of

[15:59] accelerant or, you know, explosive

[16:02] incendiary C4 or something, you're going

[16:04] to see some kind of residue, especially

[16:06] on a white shirt. Now, I'm sure there's

[16:08] things that could be a lot newer that

[16:10] we're not privy to that's military grade

[16:12] and top secret um that maybe doesn't do

[16:15] all this, but from his example, you

[16:17] would clearly see that the shirt would

[16:20] be changing color and possibly even have

[16:22] a hole in it. In this case, that

[16:23] explosion, whatever it was, was not

[16:25] enough to create a hole, which is

[16:26] interesting. It didn't create a hole in

[16:28] the shirt, but it definitely left a mark

[16:30] on it. And you can see in this frame

[16:32] here, he's showing that there's clearly

[16:33] damage to that device. So, I believe he

[16:37] used like a wireless go or something

[16:38] similar here, but you can see there's

[16:40] clearly damage to it. So, we probably

[16:42] would have seen pieces of the microphone

[16:46] exploding away or falling down between

[16:48] his legs. Um, if they have this, it'd be

[16:51] nice to see it because then we'd know

[16:53] pretty definitively if this was the

[16:55] device that caused the issue. And then,

[16:57] of course, we have the infamous Jimmy

[16:59] Door, and he's showing the slow motion

[17:01] version of the shirt and what happens

[17:04] with it. And this is why a lot of people

[17:05] think that the explosion or the

[17:07] cavitation, the whole event, they

[17:09] believe started inside of his shirt.

[17:15] So, it looks it it's also a very very

[17:18] compelling argument that it was his his

[17:22] microphone pack underneath his shirt.

[17:24] Basically, if you're seeing what I'm

[17:25] seeing and what he's probably seeing, it

[17:27] seems like everything originates

[17:30] around that device area. I mean, there's

[17:33] there's so many different things, so

[17:34] many different variables. You would

[17:35] never know exactly how that should look.

[17:38] But we can clearly see there's something

[17:40] happening under the shirt and it seems

[17:44] to start there. So in in some cases it

[17:47] looks like it even starts there before

[17:48] you see the neck cavitation in some of

[17:50] these videos. Very interesting. As the

[17:53] shock wave travels across his body, the

[17:55] magnetic clasp is flung across his body.

[17:58] In just a few frames, it disappears into

[18:00] his neck. The wound that appears is the

[18:03] same size as the clasp and displays flow

[18:06] patterns of a low velocity impact. Okay,

[18:09] now that's where things get a little

[18:11] tricky and that's where I kind of

[18:13] disagree with a lot of this theory. So

[18:16] if there was an explosion on the right

[18:17] side, just equal and opposite reaction,

[18:20] right? If you ever seen an explosion,

[18:23] you're going to like a firecracker even

[18:25] everything explodes away from that

[18:26] source. So, if I take this DJI mic and I

[18:29] put that in the same position,

[18:32] let's put on this little magnet here.

[18:34] All right. So, let's talk about this.

[18:35] So, if I have the microphone here, you

[18:37] can clearly see it under my shirt. And

[18:40] you have this magnet. Okay. So,

[18:43] underneath this explodes,

[18:46] what do you think the natural direction

[18:47] of this would be of this magnet?

[18:51] Do you think the natural direction is

[18:52] going to be towards my neck

[18:55] or do you think it's going to be

[18:56] straight away from my body?

[18:58] Now, if it was a shape charge, could

[19:00] that change things a little bit?

[19:02] Possibly. But I would think an explosion

[19:06] here on this shirt is going to explode

[19:09] and knock this away from me,

[19:13] not up the shirt. Now, if you move this

[19:16] microphone over to the side and it blew

[19:18] up in this location, then maybe I could

[19:20] see it knocking this magnet across.

[19:23] But it just seems very strange to me

[19:25] that if this was even a shape charge,

[19:27] even if this was turned directly towards

[19:29] my neck and this blew up a shape charge,

[19:32] I don't see any reason why this magnet,

[19:36] which is decently strong, but there's no

[19:38] reason why this would go shoot across my

[19:41] body. I still think 100% it would just

[19:44] fly off like it just come off the shirt

[19:46] and fly away from me regardless of shape

[19:48] charge or a regular charge that just

[19:50] blows up every direction. What do you

[19:52] guys think? And then of course we have

[19:53] the historical context of this and we

[19:56] had a pretty recent event that happened

[19:59] that was caught publicly and televised.

[20:03] >> 60 Minutes got an inside look at how

[20:05] Israel pulled off one of the most daring

[20:08] and sophisticated intelligence

[20:09] operation. So, as you can see here, this

[20:12] is some sort of pager device. Now, I

[20:16] believe they did pagers and cell phones,

[20:18] but and maybe other things as well, but

[20:21] they put explosives in here. And I'll

[20:23] show you how someone thinks they did it,

[20:26] but I think what they basically do is

[20:27] just replace part of the battery with

[20:29] explosive, and then when they get a

[20:31] certain frequency or certain call or

[20:32] some other type of remote detonation,

[20:34] then it explodes inside the device. in

[20:37] history. It was the so-called pager plot

[20:40] in which pagers worn by members of the

[20:42] >> So now I want you to see the power of

[20:44] this again. This is like a CCTV or

[20:46] something inside this grocery store.

[20:48] Watch this. The guy in the white with

[20:50] this blue hat on.

[20:53] Boom. Look at that. So you see all this

[20:55] stuff explode away. There's no blood or

[20:58] gore here, but you see all this stuff

[21:00] explode away from him. That's extremely

[21:03] extremely powerful. And this wasn't

[21:06] something that was just the size of a

[21:07] pager.

[21:08] So in this case, if Charlie had

[21:11] something this powerful, then we would

[21:13] have seen his shirt 100% rip and explode

[21:16] open and all that kind of stuff. It

[21:17] might have knocked him back in his chair

[21:18] or something. But um this just goes to

[21:20] show how powerful these can be

[21:26] and he just drops.

[21:30] So he probably has along with many of

[21:32] these people severe injuries. People had

[21:35] fingers blown off, hands blown apart.

[21:38] Some people had the cell phone up by

[21:40] their face and it blew their jaw apart.

[21:42] It it's it's very extremely extremely

[21:46] destructive. So, the amount of explosive

[21:48] that would have to be in these pagers in

[21:51] these cell phones, if that much was in

[21:54] this supposed Mike theory, DJI mic or

[21:56] whatever the mic, whatever audio pack or

[21:58] whatever he had on, we would have seen

[22:00] significantly more. We would have seen

[22:02] his shirt blow up and rip apart. He

[22:04] would have been blown back. You know,

[22:06] you would have seen significantly more

[22:08] gore. You might have seen actually like,

[22:09] you know, blood and flesh from his chest

[22:10] and stuff come out. So, I don't think it

[22:13] was this extreme, obviously. But could a

[22:15] smaller, more focused shape charge

[22:19] have enough damaging force to cause not

[22:23] only a projectile or something to go

[22:24] into his neck or through his neck,

[22:27] right? Cuz some people are like, "How

[22:29] did he get how can the mic be here, but

[22:32] he has a hole on this side?" Well,

[22:34] there's a couple of possibilities. Some

[22:36] are farfetched, some might make a little

[22:38] bit more sense depending on the angle of

[22:40] how he was sitting. If this were to fire

[22:42] a shape charge, theoretically it could

[22:45] go through one part of his neck, maybe

[22:48] hit his spine, or depending on the

[22:50] angle, just be a straight shot from here

[22:52] through his neck and then come out here.

[22:55] So, this theoretically could be an exit

[22:58] wound, which many people think it is.

[23:00] So, in that theory, if this had a shape

[23:03] charge, it could theoretically go in

[23:05] this side of his neck, hit his spine, or

[23:08] not even hit his spine, and be at the

[23:10] right angle to just go straight through

[23:11] here and come out here. Okay, we don't

[23:15] see that

[23:17] in the video, but we also don't have a

[23:20] high frame rate. So, something like that

[23:22] could be missed if it was moving that

[23:23] quick, and that could also theoretically

[23:25] itself cause some cavitation along with

[23:27] the explosion itself. To me, it still

[23:30] seems pretty unlikely, but very

[23:33] interesting. So, here we have AI telly,

[23:35] and they kind of give you their version

[23:36] of how they think maybe the pagers and

[23:38] stuff were happening, but this applies

[23:41] to basically anything that has a battery

[23:43] or anything that has enough space to put

[23:46] explosive inside of it.

[23:47] >> Now, let's consider a hypothetical

[23:48] scenario. Imagine you're looking at two

[23:51] identical batteries inside the pager.

[23:53] one battery would provide the necessary

[23:55] power for the device while the other

[23:57] could potentially serve as an explosive.

[23:59] >> So in this case, I believe that is what

[24:01] happened in some of those pagers and

[24:02] devices is that they took it, they

[24:04] intercepted it, the shipment, they made

[24:07] modifications to it and then they did

[24:09] something similar to this where part of

[24:11] the battery was taken away and it was

[24:13] replaced with explosive or explosive was

[24:15] just added inside the device. So this

[24:18] has been done a lot throughout history.

[24:20] I was curious. I was like cuz people say

[24:22] Israel, right? Well, I'm like, is it

[24:24] only Israel? And no, it's not. It's been

[24:27] used for a lot of different people.

[24:28] Concealed bombs in everyday objects. Um,

[24:31] they've been used by intelligence

[24:32] agencies. They planted them in mundane

[24:34] objects. MSAD um shape charged bombs

[24:37] inside books for Saddam Hussein in

[24:40] 1970s. US CIA agents concealed an

[24:42] explosive device in a spare tire of a

[24:45] car to kill a Lebanese militant. There's

[24:47] these and many other cases. So, as you

[24:49] go through here, I mean, this case is

[24:51] recorded as early as 1939.

[24:54] In that case, it was a Jewish militia

[24:57] and the bomb was hidden on a donkey. And

[25:00] then you have Hamas with explosive booby

[25:03] traps on donkeys. Again, you have MSAD

[25:05] Israel putting inside books, telephones,

[25:09] under hotel beds. You have the Bulgarian

[25:12] Secret Service with KGB support in

[25:14] London. Rice and pellets shot from

[25:16] umbrella guns. You have plastic

[25:18] explosives and radio cassettes from the

[25:20] Libyan intelligence. Um, PET and

[25:23] explosive devices and Motorola cell

[25:24] phones back in 1996. That's Israel. You

[25:27] have al-Qaeda PET and explosives, which

[25:30] is one of the more common ones that are

[25:31] used for this kind of thing. And

[25:33] underwear. Now, that would be a horrible

[25:35] way to go. Have your junk burnt first.

[25:38] And then you have another one, Al-Qaeda,

[25:40] printer cartridges, which are not very

[25:42] big. You have bombs concealed on mobile

[25:44] phones. bombs hidden inside decorative

[25:46] figurines. And then you have terrorist

[25:48] and insurgent attacks as well. So you

[25:50] have nail bombs hidden inside children's

[25:52] toy gun. That's just sick. Then you have

[25:56] tit bomb hidden in passenger shoe. Pipe

[25:59] bombs hidden in everyday items, teddy

[26:00] bears in a basket, Christmas box. I mean

[26:03] basically anything can be turned into a

[26:05] bomb in theory. And some of these things

[26:08] are very small. You have IEDs trapped in

[26:11] kids toys. So, as you can see from that

[26:13] list, um, this is something that's been

[26:15] done for a long time.

[26:18] They've had 80 years to perfect this

[26:21] type of technology and these type of

[26:22] attacks. And when I say they, it could

[26:25] be anyone. The US used it, Israel used

[26:28] it, Hamas used it. You have these random

[26:31] gerillas and um, Islamic militant

[26:34] states, al-Qaeda. I mean, it seems like

[26:38] it's been used kind of worldwide by many

[26:39] different groups. So, they've had plenty

[26:41] of time to perfect something like this.

[26:42] And who knows what they have nowadays,

[26:44] right? So, there was one more thing that

[26:46] I wanted to talk about was line of

[26:48] sight. We talked about line of sight on

[26:50] all these different guns in these

[26:51] different roofs and locations, the

[26:53] cameras,

[26:55] but what about the microphone?

[26:57] If there was a mic over here and it

[26:59] exploded, could it theoretically go in

[27:02] on the opposite side of the neck? So,

[27:05] one theory is that the explosion

[27:06] happened over here. It entered in

[27:08] through the neck, maybe hit the

[27:09] vertebrae or something else and then

[27:10] came out over here.

[27:12] Maybe entry wounds a lot of times will

[27:14] close up and they're very difficult to

[27:16] find in some cases. Now, I know this

[27:18] isn't strictly scientific, but I wanted

[27:20] to see if there's a line of sight from

[27:22] that mic location to the other side of

[27:23] my neck. So, what I wanted to do, and I

[27:25] apologize if you can't hear me on the

[27:26] mic that well, is basically this is

[27:30] where the DJI mic or whatever the

[27:32] microphone, whatever the audio pack is,

[27:33] whatever device is here, from here to

[27:36] the opposite side of my neck where

[27:38] Charlie actually had an entry wound or

[27:40] exit wound, whatever it is, and I want

[27:42] to see is there a line of sight

[27:46] from that device. And I have my my palm

[27:49] is completely against my chest, and I'm

[27:51] holding this metal rod. And this would

[27:54] theoretically be the projectile. So if

[27:57] the DJI mic is here, the metal pole's

[28:00] touching my chest.

[28:02] Yes, there's a line of sight.

[28:05] If I move it further over now, I'm

[28:07] starting to get into my Adam's apple a

[28:10] little bit. And if I lean back,

[28:13] it's still I mean, it would basically go

[28:15] out the side

[28:18] through the side of my neck unless it

[28:20] went in and hit that major muscle here.

[28:23] and curve back in or something, but

[28:24] that's very unlikely, especially at the

[28:26] velocities we're talking about to have

[28:27] to be able to create cavitation. So, in

[28:29] this case,

[28:32] is it feasible that his mic

[28:36] somewhere in his chest somewhere in this

[28:38] area, which I believe is where it was,

[28:40] is it feasible that if it exploded and

[28:43] shot a projectile up towards his neck

[28:45] that it could go in the opposite side of

[28:47] his neck?

[28:50] Based on what I'm seeing,

[28:52] yeah, I mean, theoretically, it is

[28:55] possible. How likely is it that it would

[28:58] travel from the mic location, go across

[29:01] into this side of his neck and not go

[29:03] out the side of his neck? I think that

[29:05] would be more likely the case.

[29:08] Or we would have seen more damage and

[29:10] stretching and rips and tears over on

[29:13] the side of the neck over here.

[29:16] But that just goes to show that in

[29:18] theory, sure, there is line of sight

[29:22] from that location to the opposite side

[29:24] of the neck. Because that's the biggest

[29:25] question that I had initially is how the

[29:27] hell if it explodes over here, is it

[29:29] going to cause issue over here? And

[29:30] based on that test, which is a straight

[29:32] line of sight from my chest where that

[29:34] mic would be up through this side of his

[29:37] neck without hitting my Adam's apple.

[29:40] Now remember, he's taller, so he has a

[29:41] longer, skinnier neck. So it might be

[29:43] even easier for it to come and hit this

[29:45] location over here. So what do I think

[29:47] about all this? Do I think it's

[29:49] possible? Yes. Is it plausible? What's

[29:54] the probability of this? Probably

[29:56] extremely extremely low, but I don't

[30:00] think it can be completely ruled out.

[30:02] Now, if I could have got more

[30:03] information, which online won't let me

[30:05] get because if you type in certain

[30:08] things and ask certain questions, it

[30:10] just denies it and it won't give you

[30:11] information. So, I don't know how much

[30:13] of an explosion would have to happen to

[30:15] cause that cavitation. That's the

[30:17] biggest thing that I don't know. But all

[30:20] the other little pieces, all the other

[30:21] questions that were out there,

[30:23] theoretically,

[30:25] yes, this could happen. All right, so

[30:27] what do you guys think? Do you think

[30:29] this is plausible? Let me know down in

[30:31] the comments. And as always, like,

[30:32] subscribe, and share this around. It

[30:34] feeds the algorithm. See you in the next
