  • Doug Mills, a veteran photographer for The New York Times, was only a few feet away from former President Donald J. Trump at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when the shooting started. Mr. Mills kept his finger on the shutter button, photographing as the scene unfolded. It was only afterward, while reviewing his photos, that he realized he had captured the apparent path of a bullet used in the assassination attempt against the former president. He explains what he saw.

      NYT was once a great newspaper. It was in decline.
      Now we get to see if it can become great again. This shot is the fork in the road. NYT can either get back to award winning news coverage of today’s events, unbiased…. Or be another cog in the wheel of mainstream media & just repeating the same script they are being given.
      It’s their choice.

    does the trajectory of that bullet path look like the gun was 15-20 feet above Trump? The bullet does not look like it was dropping due to gravity, indicating it was close by...had it been on the water tower or the warehouse way behind the building the shooter was on it would show loss of height due to gravity, which it does not exhibit.

    That streak looks to be at least a foot long if we compare it to Trump's head. If whatever caused it took 1/8,000th of a second to travel that foot then that is a speed of 8,000 ft per second. Quite the muzzle velocity. This does not align with basic physics so what is wrong? What is missing in the information that is being presented here?

      Does not have to be the actual bullet but instead the effect of the bullet on the atmosphere as it moved..

      Check every news outlet the image is slightly different, and scientifically the rifle shoots a slug at almost 50% slower around 3,700. It's an easy myth busters. What should be a blur is broadcast cameras which don't capture in higher shutter speed, they usually capture around 28fps to maybe 30 something which is similar to the human eye, that's why they edited the 4K footage of the dude in the back who literally captured everything in HD.

      @@blakewarden2487 I don't see motion blur. Actually my first thought was uncorrected lens aberation but I think it is more the effect of the above combined the relatively low res (only 3.5MP on a 50MP sensor) that he was using to maximize his buffer. I'd like to see the uncropped uncompressed version released at some point but that is unlikely.

    Why doesn't he explain each of the frames, including the exact time? For example, one frame shows Trump's hand on his ear. He raised his hand from the podium only after the sound of the first bullet. Mills doesn't explain that either. The next frame shows his hand halfway down to the podium. Are they supposed to be successive frames at 8,000 frames per second? Impossible. What was the exact time? He still could have been hit by a piece of glass from the first bullet. The bullet was travelling at least 2,500 feet per second, so the streak should be about 3 inches at 1/8,000 sec, but it appears to be 12 inches. Mills doesn't explain that either. The photo of his ear doesn't show a distinct bullet hole and there is no blood on his hair behind his ear. Listening to the video with sound, and accounting for the sound delay, which was about 0.3 seconds, shows that his hand was halfway to his ear when the second bullet was fired, so the bullet would have been a few hundred feet past his ear. Also, Trump refuses to reveal his medical report. What doesn't he want us to know? Wray and the bipartisan House commission need to investigate more. If it is a bullet in the photo, it didn't hit Trump's ear.

    “The raised fist in defiance…”
    The raised fist is not solely a defiant gesture. It is trump’s version of a heil Hitler salute. It is more violent than Hitler’s. His was arm straight and hand flat. Trump’s, not surprisingly, bent elbow and fist, is more violent. Hitler used his left arm, trump the right. He thinks he is slipping it in without referencing Hitler.
