Yo, Blaze. The KIRO video that we saw - and was posted here for a month or so - was accessed by Shut, who got it directly from the videographer, if my memory serves me correctly. However, the vid guy took it down right after Tom Colbert made his splash and the rumors started floating that KIRO insisted on taking full possession of the video from the guy who shot it, but did not have ownership since he was an employee of KIRO TV. Hence, the video went bye-bye.
Now we can speculate at length on Colbert's contribution to this, KIRO's lack of balls, or the videographer not making a copy or sharing it with us, etc. BUT. In the meantime, you can read my book and get a full discription of the TWO money finds at Tina Bar - the surface three bundolas, as Georger likes to call them - and the deep shard find. My book has extensive quotes from the folks who found the shards, such as Dorwin Schroeder, the Fazio Brothers, Himms. Or you can read Ralph Himmelsbach's book and not only get his description of his find, but you can see pix of him down in the trenches retrieving the bits and pieces.
One proviso: my writing on the shards has an error. My initial understanding on the shards was that they were very tiny and not that numerous. That information I got from the Citizens Sleuths, in particular TK and Carol Abracadabra, who examined the evidence locker in Seattle. However, that determination was not supported by the findings in the KIRO video. We saw the shards and they were much bigger than I was initially led to believe, and what is currently in the Norjak file. This of course makes one wonder where the sizeable shards are if not in the evidence collection.
Nevertheless, at this point the general consensus here and elsewhere in Cooper World is that the shard find was extensive, with hundreds, if not thousands of money fragments found across a 40-foot stretch of beach at a 2-4 foot depth.
No one that I know has a compelling explanation of how these two money fields came into existence, or when. The rubber bands are one indication that the arrival of money to T-Bar was near to 1980, but remember, the money was somewhere from 1971 onwards, so those rubber bands were 8+ years old regardless of where they were before discovery in February 1980.
By the way, don't feel too embarrassed about not reading my book. Many of the posters here haven't read my book, either. In fact, one of the important and intriguing aspects of the DB Cooper case is now un-informed many of the researchers are. Tom Colbert and his CCT haven't read my book, nor his cohort Jim Forbes, nor any of the production crews at the History Channel or the Travel Channel/Expedition Unknown. In fact, Tom Fuentes and Bill Jensen of the LMNO crew only started reading my book - to the extent that they have done so - online WHILE they interviewed me on camera! Further, most of these folks haven't read any one else's book, either, although Colbert did tell me that he did read Russ Calame's book, and skimmed through Himm's.
If you would like a primer on a Who's Who of authors, videographers, film crews, documentarians, etc. I may begin to put one together for these pages. I'll talk with Shut after his Irma adventure. Along those lines, my book has a 30-page glossary of the principals of Norjak, particularly the FBI agents who worked the case, the crew and passengers, and notables in this Hunt for DB Cooper.
Lastly, if you would like to access a lot of DBC info quickly without buying anything, you can go to the Mountain News-WA, where I have posted over 60 articles on Coop.
