"I doubt the killer could stage a UXB," said Oswald.  "Certainly noty one 
that would keep us all trapped in this building for so long.  But a light 
showing - one that would alert the ARP patrolling the streets - that would 
be much easier.

show yet again, can you see what kind of tear it is in the blackout 
material?"
