Top-Down Aerial of the Event Area
What This Image Shows
A near-vertical aerial of part of the campus complex. In the upper left, a crowd is gathered outdoors in concentric terraced rows facing a small white canopy -- the tent at the front of the amphitheatre. Watermarked @universehop00.
A top-down frame is the most directly useful view in the whole set for spatial questions, because it renders distances on the ground almost to scale. The relationship it fixes is the one every trajectory argument depends on: where the canopy sat, how the crowd was arrayed around it, and how far the surrounding rooflines stood from that point.
The provenance claim attached to this set -- leaked imagery from the N59906 contractor flight -- remains unconfirmed, and nothing published establishes the date or source of these particular frames. They should be used for geometry and read with that caveat attached.
See N59906, the ADS-B capture on Photo 64, and Maps.
