Uninterrupted TSBD rooftop Hertz sign time display = no power failure

[Richard Smith]

How do you know this was around 12:36?

What time do you think it happened?  That is the time attributed to it in Reclaiming History.  Could it be off by a minute or two?  Possibly but no apparent relevance.  The obvious point is that Sawyer took the passenger elevator up and then back down in this timeframe.  Confirming that it was working and had power.

What conspirators?  Why is Richard so emotionally invested in there not being a power outage?

I've explained this one as well.  Several of your nutty kindred have suggested the power outage was the result of the efforts of conspirators.  If you don't like that claim, take it up with them but not me for addressing it.  I've also said multiple times that if you want to erroneously believe there was a power outage but that it had no implications for a conspiracy, that is fine with me.  My only objection is to anyone suggesting there was a power outage (a falsehood) to support the notion of a conspiracy.  Don't care a bit though if someone wants to believe it was just some random event with no relevance to who assassinated JFK.  It would just be an unimportant matter of fact.  Like whether John Wilkes Booth's horse was brown or black.  Are you saying that you do not believe the power outage was originated by or proves any conspiracy in this case?

Only when you trot out your old chestnut of pretending like there are only 2 possibilities.

Of course there is always other possibilities like aliens focused their radiation beam on the Elevator, time travellers sabotaged the Elevator or perhaps a rat gained the ability for sentient thought and pulled the Elevator fuse?
But in the here and now I work on logical scenarios, on the other hand you seem to be promoting a 3rd scenario that relies on a random temporary blackout at the exact point in time when Mooney was trying to operate the Elevator but who reported the lights going out or was your blackout specifically targeting the Elevators?

If there was a power outage then wouldn't the building lights go out and with so many people in the building at the time who gave testimony surely you can support your "power outage" theory? LOL

The indicator lights coincidentally burned out at just that moment.  The odds must be astronomical...

Show us where she says the indicator light burned out.

I hadn't noticed if it was said in the thread already but which floor is the power for the elevators on.? Point being, is it possible that the conspirator turned the power off on the way out the door, as a way to slow down anyone from going upstairs (or down) in a hastily manner.?

By stopping the elevators you direct everyone to the stairs, what does that achieve?
Hang on Iacoletti expects more options like maybe the sniper was waiting for his helicopter or maybe he rappelled down the elevator shaft or perhaps he needed time to self emolliate?

 maybe he rappelled down the elevator shaft

That is one hell of a theory and very viable, it would be a great escape route, to avoid detection.

[John Iacoletti]

Again, for the tenth time, no one disputes that Mooney thought there was a power outage.  But that doesn't make it so.  There are other plausible alternatives that have been laid out ad nauseam.  Deal with that Inspector Ding-a-Ling.

"Richard wants it to be true" does not make something "plausible".
