A New York Times team including Malachy Browne, Drew Jordan, Nicole Fineman and Chris Cirillo has produced a video that maps a timeline of the Las Vegas massacre: “The shots began at 10:05. Twelve bursts of gunfire later, police broke down Stephen Paddock’s door at the Mandalay Bay. Using forensic analysis, The Times mapped 30 videos that show a vivid picture of what happened that night.” The Times has posted the video here and also made the video embeddable. I have posted it below. The Times does not specifically address the controversy surrounding the alterations in the timeline regarding Jesus Campos. Rather, the video maps his activity in the corridor during the massacre. We remain far from a definitive account of the massacre. It remains a riddle wrapped inside an enigma. Poster Comment: FWIW.

Their analysis makes sense - but that won't matter. "The NYT is just part of the coverup" in 3...2...
Meh. It's certainly incomplete. They indicate they were counting the shots and the volleys. Why no timeline for how many shots fired in each volley and a total? Info that we still don't have. I still think he shot at the aviation fuel tanks first but there is not mention of that. I thought the illustration and timeline of the hallways was helpful. And we found out where Paddock put his hallway cam (supposedly). But we don't know if he was carrying a laptop from the one room to another or if he had a tablet to monitor the camera with. This could have been done a lot better and they obviously had more info. Certainly the Times should be able to afford some A/V shooting experts. So I'd really just give it a 'C'. If even that. Things are pretty sad if this is the best that the supposed top investigative newspaper can produce after weeks. I was hopeful it would be better, lured in by their mention of basing it on 30 eyewitness videos.
This is kinda suspicious: https://youtu.be/nvkKJdjY3Pk?t=13s Supposedly it's "the sound of gunfire in different videos" that "we lined up". The top track looks the same as the bottom one - with the exception of what looks like somebody doing a half arsed attempt to make it look different with something like the photoshop smudging tool. Half arsed and half fast - typical example of MSM "journalism" these days.
Mmmm...maybe. One audio track shows a lot of background noise. So the cleaner one might be the lady taxi driver with her quiet background and clearer shots fired, the other one might be from the concert with music in the background or people screaming. I'm not saying it is but that is a possible reasonable explanation for the discrepancy that you noted.
Clearer screenshots from the Nyt upload: Those are not tracks recorded by two devices at different locations.
You're making a decent case that the NYSlimes is just another bunch of YouBoob kooks with better graphics artists. : )
It's a shame. With the resources they SHOULD have - they could've done a much better job. Notice they repeated the "200 shots down the hallways" blurb? Nothing in their video or any other video I can find substantiates that number. What you can see of the door doesn't substantiate "200 shots".
But we can't see the most important area of the door as it is laying on its side. Paddock wouldn't shoot the lower 2.5' of the door. It wouldn't even kill the guard if he were standing right in front of the door. At some point, we'll see a photo of the full door. It seems Paddock shot almost entirely through the door that is laying down with its upper-half not viewable in this picture.

Look what those maybe dozen visible holes did. See the wood splinters on the carpet? 200 rounds of .223 or .762 would've made a big shredded hole = with associated splinters on the carpet outside. Where's the shredage? And show me a 200 shot burst audible in any video? Not seeing it. I think they're just repeating "200 shots".

The timing of the peaks would line up on video recorded at two distinct sources - but I would expect the amplitude (height) of each peak to be different. There would also be different ambient noise from the crowd, traffic, whatever - recorded and observable in the graph; but we don't see it here.
Either both tracks were recorded by devices very close to each other (maybe two cameras down on the field) or this is just an example of NyT's journalistic laziness.
Observe that they didn't give specific details for which video-audio was being "lined up" in the example frame above.

They're identical.
