Ahhh...but how many could the _dragon_ counter? :)

What's a noise damper? And would either have necessarily corrupted all
footage of the actual blast? And would it mask the sound of the limo
soaring through the air and landing (which one of the witnesses claimed
to have heard, IIRC).

For one, the new asphalt would have been obvious, for another, that was
what everyone else seemed to be discussing.

At the risk of contradicting myself, what if the explosion was some sort
of high-power, E-M blast? This could have been done through magic (light
Elemental Effect) and would have caused no noise other than the sound,
would/could have caused serious destruction on the physical plane, could
have resulted in the extremely high background count. I'm still not sure
exactly what the creature was that lifted out of the wrecked limo was,
however.
