Heads Up!

[Alan Ford]

Morning gentlemen,

Please let me share the Don Cook image once more...


*Credit Mr. Hocking

For clarity sake, he is the male figure leaning on one knee to your viewing left near the top of the landing. Please note a few things: where his right leg is positioned; his right elbow is positioned; and, now scan across on a direct line from his right elbow across. The ending point comes directly in alignment with the pillar.

Now, we all know from viewing the following photo image how far forward the pillar rests from the tight, restrictive 3 foot landing Mr. Frazier is positioned upon, well back of both Mr. Cook's position and the wrongfully accused as well...let's take a look ----->

That tight, restrictive landing as you can see stops well short of the pillar sitting well forward. To suggest that Mr. Cook's position is on a perfect alignment with the police officers well above him at at-least a 45 degree angle would be stretching the truth. Before I move onward to the next image, just a final reminder to keep in mind Mr. Cook's position, his right elbow position and how far forward he is in contrast to the tight, restrictive landing as depicted in the above image.

Having said that, let's now turn our attention to another rather interesting photo ---->


*Credit Prayer-Man website

There are more than a few things interesting about this particular photo. First, unlike so many others that do not afford a clear visual to determine the total number of stairs, it does. That's important because if I have to I will submit an image of a female w/her face practically in Prayer Man's mid-section, and we all know the person standing there in Prayer Man's position isn't wheel-chair bound, so where there is a mid-section there are lower extremities as well. Lower extremities that rest forward instead of to the rear.

Moving along, please note where the forward pillars begin and what step of seven total it rests. Now, turning back to the full image, please note the red mark on the left near the top of the stairs. Would any reasonable person standing in that position where Prayer Man is captured in Mr. Darnell's film stand directly alongside that bottle? Not if he knew any sudden movement by him may spill the contents within. So, a more reasonable thing to do would be to step forward, and shield the contents behind his position from others passing to and from the entrance (unless he has a strong back and is flexible enough to sit it down one step, and simply dare to bend over at an awkward angle to fetch it even if it meant he could lose his balance and tumble head long down the remaining stairs.
