so that make two (three?) of us.

well his Dad pretty much brought down the Tory gov with the scandle he
exposed over getting his family a passport. that surely pissed off a lot of
people and Diana knew whom she was dating and how that was going to piss
off even more.

well I think the "real" photographers are pretty much blameless. however I
feel there were "others" involved.

Let's just look at the simple facts of what happened.

1) the now horribly drunk driver was a former jet fighter pilot, trained in
anti kidnapping/escape driving techniques.
2) something made them run. I find it impossible to believe that someone
that has had their picture taken for 16 years or whatever suddenly freaked
out. if she was so scared of the press why did they go to his dad's hotel,
the ritz? no other resturants in Paris open at night?
3) do you know how fast 120 is on city streets? I do. It's fuckin' fast. No
one, would drive at a sustained speed like that for any *good* reason.
unless you were running for your life.
4) the "other" car. This has been reported a few times.
5) impact and MB spinning around in the Tunnel. Why wern't the Photogs
taken out. (because they were 1/8 mile behind?)

So my take is this.

Decoy ducks out the front.
Inside Intel tells whomever their going out back
Jump in armor plated MB
Hit man pulls up next to MB and shows small semi -auto (Mac11, etc.)
Driver goes into kidnapping avoidance mode.
Hit men *followed* by Photogs "herd" MB towards tunnel at high speed
"Dummy" car blocks inside of tunnel forcing driver to turn to avoid.

that's all she wrote.
