If you haven't heard, there was a bombing in a packed Coptic church in Tanta, Egypt, during Palm Sunday festivities. There's footage of the scene with priests singing hymns, and then the video footage develops bars, and there's an explosion sound and screaming. You can see it at https://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2017/04/09/Bombing-reported-near-church-in-Egyptian-city-of-Tanta.html .

There's something that stood out about that clip - the bars show up while the singing is going on, a good half second or so before the bomb sound. Why would the bars be prescient? How would anyone's camera know that this was about to happen? How would we lose just the part of the clip where the explosion happened, and not the preamble? In the days of film, we could physically find pieces of film and older footage might be protected from the full destruction by newer footage, but in the digital age, there's no reason why a half-destroyed camera should only retain the first part of a data chain and not the rest of it.

Also reports are saying there's masonry, plaster, wood, and paper everywhere at the scene, but there's no mention of body parts or blood in the one clip I saw. Maybe they're censoring it for the squeamish, but a packed church with 2k people in it, in an even that is said to have killed at least 30 people, you would expect personal effects to be in the debris and possibly human remains.

Am I out to lunch here, or is something a little off about this?
