I don't think you'd recognise someone as they fell at 50 miles an hour past you straight on to their face.
And then if you stuck around to see the gory details as he got turned over, he had blood all over his face.

It was probably reported in all the papers that Sherlock threw himself off a roof at Bart's Hospital. If you were walking past the Hospital at the time, you would definitely put two and two together.

The whole nobody noticed someone falling off a roof in London during the day is more far fetched then Moriarty Scooby Doo masks.

I was simply saying what I was saying! That at the time, you would have seen a person jump off the roof, not Sherlock.

But you would have seen someone falling off a roof and landing in a bin lorry, not splattering on the ground.

The other unbelievable part of the whole sordid mess, was that none of the crowd milling around filmed it on their mobiles. That's what people do nowadays, isn't it?

How do you know they didn't?

Some people seem to be deciding what Moffat etc are going to say happened and then getting annoyed about it in advance.

You have seen Doctor Who, haven't you zooo? You know, the show where they wish things better and they magically happen.

Hopefully you can understand why we're all a bit skittish over the eventual explanation.

Turbo gay

It's understandable discussing various possibilities. Just not much point getting angry about something that hasn't even happened.

Perhaps it was all hushed up by Mycroft? Eye witnesses discredited, false reporting, inaccurate police statements etc, in a similar fashion to the massive smear campaign/hush up of the De Menezes shooting?

That is definitely a possibility, but just like De Menezes, the truth wills out - otherwise you wouldn't know it was a cover up. (circular logic!)

And, if Mycroft is powerful enough to stop stories in the press, why didn't he super injunction the original Rich Brook story in the papers? (circular fail!)

Sci-fi and fantasy is a bit of a different thing though, isn't it; people might come up with mumbo jumbo, but in this there has to be more reality to it. But then again, it's also just a TV show, some suspension of disbelief is needed.

In a Hansel and Gretel link, perhaps the pavement was made of experimental cushioning gingerbread and the blood was raspberry jam.

And Moriarty is infact Heston Blumenthal?

And Moff has told us exactly that in the past in Who. Why does he spot Rory on the village green in Ledbury? Because Rory is the one with the mobile phone filming what's happening.

Having watch the jump sequence for a third time, this time treating it like a magic trick, I can see potential for the bin-bag theory.

From Watson's angle, it's possible that Holmes could have landed in the bin bag truck, at around the same time as somebody threw a corpse out of a lower-floor window (or the truck, I guess) which is what we see hit the ground.
