"...Until all the lights went out..."
Mon 01 Sep 2014, 7:38 am
Geneva Hines testimony:
Miss HINE. Yes, sir: I was alone until the lights all went out and the phones became dead because the motorcade was coming near us and no one was calling so I got up and thought I could see it from the east window in our office.
Some claim this is a reference to the power being cut in the building - others point out she is clearly referencing a cessation of calls due to the imminent arrival of the motorcade.
This has always troubled me - and it has finally dawned on me why.
Firstly, the TSBD covered 5 states - Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. Presumably they took calls from all 5 of those states. Why should anyone in other parts of Texas - let alone anyone in the other states, give a rat's patootie about the motorcade's imminent arrive?
Moreover -- would anyone interstate even be following events so closely that they realized the motorcade was running late? Because we are expected to believe here that not only did customers in 4 other states care that a motorcade was in progress - but knew - even though it was running late - when it was just about to pass by the TSBD.
What utter crap.
