Typical CBC virtue signalling. Trying to politicize something that isn’t political. This article would be a godsend to any investigatation for arson. Methinks there’s a little something here that doesn’t pass the smell test. I’ve assisted in a number of fire cause determinations back in my fire dept days.
Why mention the Ukrainian angle? Wouldn’t you be better served to keep that aside until you find a probable suspect and slip it into the interview and gauge the reaction? Already this is sounding like the hate crime is taking priorty. The arson angle pretty much sounds like a slam dunk. They just need to find the perpetrator, then worry about the hate crime.
"“The next thing she heard was the sound of … emptying the bottle and the smell of gasoline,” he said. “Someone was pouring [it] inside the house through the mail slot.”
That’s getting awful close to hearsay but perhaps the husband is speaking for his wife for a legitimate reason. We don’t know what she told the police yet, if anything.
Also, for her to awaken from a sleep and recognise the sound of a bottle being opened and its contents being poured in through the mail slot is quite amazing unless one is conditioned to do so. I was able to be awakened from sleep for an emergency message lasting only 30 seconds max, and know where I was going and why. I was conditioned to do so. Perhaps they received mail, flyers and whatever while she was napping and conditioned herself as well. Sound normal? Not to me.
Being able to identify the smell of gasoline is certainly plausible as it has a very unique smell.
"But almost immediately after he was alerted to the gasoline, Vyshnevskyy says, someone struck a fire which spread “really quickly.”
How does one ‘strike’ a fire? Is this a linguistic leftover from his original learned language? Did he hear a match or a lighter being struck from outside the mail slot? Bionic hearing perhaps?
“By the time he got downstairs, the front room was already ablaze. As smoke filled the house, he says he had to abandon his plans to put out the fire himself, and then escaped through the back door.”
Most people move to protect others not play hero fire extinguisher. Why did the room light up so fast? What fuels were present for that to happen so fast? What took him so long to get downstairs? Does he have a physical issue that doesn’t allow him to move very fast or did he stop and get dressed first?
“It’s really an incredible story and a testament to both the parents of the children to ensure their safety by closing doors behind them to help prevent rapid fire spread into the areas where they were … It certainly could have been much worse.”
Its an incredible story alright. At least that part’s believable.
