Ch4 Investigating Diana: Death in Paris

[Jim H]

I wonder if this will throw up anything new?

CH4 tonight.

[Steviesam]

Jesus Christ.

Cant they just leave this and the family alone?

[Jim H]

Which family? I have to ask?

Or the ‘Firm’ allegedly totally dysfunctional.

Totally effective in operation when it suits.

It's hard to believe it's soon to be the 25th anniversary of her death.

[BorkBorkBork]

Is this going to be a Netflix style documentary, where they regurgitate all the previous documentaries and come up with absolutely nothing new?

[Jim H]

I clearly remember my father coming into my bedroom and telling me the news.

It was utter shock and disbelief for myself.


I always thought it was a bit odd .

She was really stoking it up at the time - shaking the tree.
Especially with regard who she was hanging around with.

It's (Not) hard to believe that I still don't care.

Well, that's his stall set out and no mistake.

Though but, well, can there really be anyone, even lefty, trot C4 viewers, who still think
there's more to her death than a drunk chauffeur losing control of a big car, in an underpass,
an underpass which had supporting concrete pillars yet no protective arnco barriers ?

God, that was an embarrassing few weeks for the UK.




And it's been downhill ever since.

The royal family, or firm if you prefer. They are still people, with feelings, especially the boys whose mother died.

Imagine if there was documentary after documentary about the death of your mother?

The why would you click on the thread title, not only that, but then spend a few seconds telling us you don't care?

Because how else would everybody know that he doesn't care?

If you wanted to bump someone off and make it look like an accident, be that Diana or Dodi, then "organising" a crash in a big Merc hardly guarantees the outcome.

This is surely cock-up and circumstance. I didn't watch the programme (1 of 4? strewth), are they suggesting Henri Paul did a 9/11 and aimed for the concrete?

It's remarkable three of them died, with or without belts - but then, it's remarkable Gavrilo Princip took out Franz Ferdinand and his wife with one shot each.

Pretty much, lots of witnesses describing what they saw ("two men on a motorbike, made the car crash by flashing something at the driver, stopped, then rode off") with the police in the next clip saying "we need evidence of things like this, we can't go on the word of one person".

Exactly. If she'd decided to put her seatbelt on, she'd have survived. They'd just spend 3 weeks cruising the med, which is pretty much the perfect place to organise a fatal accident. It's a floating tub of fuel. Scuba diver from another boat, bomb attached to hull and kaboom. No police on hand, no ambulances, evidence far harder to come by. Easy.

The issue I have, which never seems to be addressed on TV shows is about the choice of trying to kill people by making their car crash. Is that actually a reasonable and practical thing to try to do? For me it seems unlikely to work in so far as actually killing who you want to kill. It also seems far too likely to leave evidence, especially if it fails. Clearly there are loads more simple ways of killing someone; is the idea that the "fake" car crash is good because it looks like an accident? Either way, I'm no hit-man, but it's not a method I'd choose.

Easier, certainly, but combing the sea bed for bomb parts might well reveal the conspiracy.

Now if the scuba diver waited until dark, stowing away on board like Jason Bourne, an accomplice could do something like let off fireworks so those on the boat come out to have a look. Scuba diver grabs Diana (or Dodi, whichever is the intended victim), jumps overboard and drowns her (or him). A tragic accident, like the Maxwell family would have you believe about Cap'n Bob.
