Booth escape route north

[wsanto]

So you think that bunting was tacked up secure enough to alter the fall of a 155 pound man going 32 ft/sec? You just don't get workmanship like that anymore. Booth didn't even know he took the bunting down until he stomped on the 'flag' before he exited stage right.

I think the bunting was the most irrelevant part. He may have landed almost perfectly except for some added pressure to his left lateral malleolus putting just enough force on the fibula to cause a minor fracture. It wouldn't take much from that height.
