Yes, thank you Bonnie. We're going to go now to Robert Clots, who used to be in special operations for the DC police.

He ran the helicopter squad, the bomb squad, and the presidential security unit.

Now Mr. Clots, we are all watching this.

We heard that this is a non-lethal form of tear gas.

And the big question at the moment is, did the gas ignite this fire, or is there something else that's responsible for it?

Well I can't say with certainty that it did not.

There are certain types of tear gas that when you the methodology that you use can ignite a

spark or create a fire.

Now we know this is C.S. Gas and that it was administered through an M5 dispenser.

Tell us what that means and how that might add to the information.

Okay, an M5 dispenser is merely a larger vehicle for emitting the gas. It's usually run by a gas

motor or something of that type. If that was on a tank and it was big...

Let me imagine you, Mr. Clots, if you you were watching we just saw an explosion that came from one side of this building so obviously there are things that are igniting even as we speak

Keep in mind there's heavy there's heavy munitions and heavy arms in there.

Right, I understand that part of that building had a lot of munitions in it.

That may be what you have just been looking at.

The rapidity in which that fire took hold

and the rapidity in which it spread

seems to indicate to me that there had to be some kind of fluid or liquid in there.

I've been at places where through the delivery of tear gas of fire has broken out. There are places I'll remember all my life.

Though some have changed some forever not for better some have gone

Some have gone and some remain all these places have their moments.
