Visual movement does not equal a fired weapon. At 175 meters, a gunshot produces a distinct acoustic signature that would be picked up by the microphone. That sound is missing. Instead, the audio clearly captures three shots from an SKS, which has a completely different sound profile than the 9mm you hear later during the reload. The audio timeline dictates what happened, not visual assumptions.
Out of respect for the victims and their families, I am not sharing the video of the tragic events in Montreal today. However, there is a viral narrative circulating based on a visual illusion in that video that needs to be corrected using basic physics and acoustic forensics.
When a camera records an event from 175 meters away, what you see and what you hear do not happen at the same time.
The Delay: Sound travels at roughly 343 meters per second. At 175 meters, it takes sound roughly 0.51 seconds to reach the camera's microphone. Because social media compression often drops video framerates to approximately 15 frames per second (fps), this 0.51-second delay equals roughly 8 frames of video.
The Signatures: The two weapons used have entirely different acoustic fingerprints. The suspect’s rifle creates a heavy, low-frequency boom (marked in RED). The police firearm creates a sharp, mid-range pop with no deep bass (marked in BLUE).
The Proof: If we account for the 0.51-second speed-of-sound delay and locate the actual sound of the bullet that struck the civilian, the audio data shows a massive, low-frequency bass impact.
As you can see in the data, the acoustic signature at the exact moment the civilian was shot matches the active shooter's weapon (RED), not the officer's (BLUE). The visual of the video is creating an optical/audio illusion due to the speed of sound. Please look at the data before placing blame.

🚨 APPLE USER ALERT
There is a spike in users getting a phone call from Apple claiming there is an issue with your account & that you have been sent a verification code to your phone so they can assist.
That verification code which comes as a text message gives an attacker access to your Apple ID/iCloud account as they already know your email, phone number, etc. due to your information already being leaked on the dark web.
It is a very simple method to socially engineer you or one of your family members into giving full access to your account!
There are multiple issues:
❌ you may have a full backup of your phone to your iCloud which they can restore from
❌ you may have emailed, sent in an iMessage, any digital format etc. sensitive information about yourself, accounts, etc.
❌ you may have your seed/keys/backup codes in your notes app which syncs to your iCloud which you just gave them access to
People have not only had their accounts but multiple wallets & assets compromised & drained. this is extremely unfortunate.. but the only way to protect against this is to be proactive about our security.
THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE HERE THAT APPLIES FOR BOTH WEB2 & WEB3 IS TO GO TO THE SOURCE..
If you are contacted by:
▶️ apple/microsoft
▶️ fedex/amazon
▶️ phone/cellular/tv/internet provider
▶️ antivirus/it company
▶️ streaming services
▶️ bank/crypto exchange/insurance
▶️ the president himself/the irs
▶️ the latest game beta test
▶️ forbes magazine/any interview
▶️ ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE ANYONE
Through any means:
▶️ phone call
▶️ text message
▶️ direct message
▶️ social network
▶️ email
▶️ ANY FORM OF COMMUNICATION
Assume that it is 99.9% a scam, do not continue to engage whoever they claim they are by however they contacted you, and instead.. ⬇️
GO TO THE SOURCE! ✅
EXAMPLE 1
You get an email from your bank or exchange about an issue or fraudulent charge on your account, DO NOT entertain the requests or links supposably from your bank/exchange/investment account, instead go DIRECTLY to the website yourself & sign in to check if the claim is true!
EXAMPLE 2
You place an order on Amazon (or let's say you haven't even placed an order on Amazon at all!) & you get a phone call or text message about an issue with the order or that someone made an order on your account.. DO NOT entertain the phone call or links supposably from wherever you placed the order, instead go DIRECTLY to the website yourself & sign in to check if the claim is true!
Think of all the scams that could be prevented if this information was digested & shared with friends & family..
Let's be proactive & cognizant to not only save ours & our families hard earned money.. but also to save ourselves from the stress of dealing with all these constant scams. 🫂
Scams will NEVER go away but with this knowledge we CAN PROTECT OURSELVES.
