Ramble.

There's enough seats in the movie theater to fit about 400 people and almost all these seats are going to be filled by midnight.

These seats are first come first-served so if somebody doesn't want to sit in the first

few rows with their neck bent at an odd angle staring up at the screen the

whole night then they're going to come earlier to reserve those spots now almost

three years later some of the same moviegoers from that night would be asked to

come in and point out exactly which chair in which row did you sit at when it all happened.

But this auditorium they're in, they're not pointing at real chairs that you can sit in,

they're not walking into a movie theater and saying that's the chair that I sat in.

In fact it's this tiny little miniature model of theater nine that they're pointing at.

There's tiny little rows of blue chairs that are lined up against each other.

How big or is it?

I would say maybe like half the size of a carry-on suitcase.

Oh wow.

And every little, yeah, the amount of chairs per row is accurate. The amount of steps in the stairs are accurate. It's quite literally a miniature model of a specific movie theater.

Many of the same movie go, they walk up, they'll point and explain exactly how it all happened.

But 12 of the people that were in the theater that night will not be able to tell the courtroom where they were because July 20th

2012 the emergency exit door to Theater 9 would open in the middle of a movie and

a man with bright orange hair wearing tactical gear would walk into the theater.

This is the midnight premiere of Batman, the Dark Night Rises, and he will open fire. We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mango to support the

720 Foundation. Their mission is to honor the lives lost on July 20, 2012 by being a resource and for advocating for other communities who experience

that mental, physical, spiritual, emotional struggle after a mass tragedy.
