[NEW] Chuai Videos- Conclusions
Since no-one's gonna sift through that mega-thread

How about this. Lets state the conclusions or possible conclusions that we got out of the 105-pages-in-2-days thread, and then use that at a jumping off point to continue the discussion, so that ppl dont have to read all that shit just to contribute.

I'll do my part, you guys fill me in. Eight "news reports" have popped up on YouTube from stations all over the world; specifically, NNC (Germany), Dieci (Italy), TV44 (Spain), 20h Info (France), PHHC (Russia), JNN and an unnamed station (Japan), and 26 Local (USA). The reports show three bits of footage from December 27th of the Chuai Station collapsing.

Clip 1: From a helicopter, we see the station buckle and collapse. Clover may be visible in this shot: many people see black dots emerging from the water or even tentacles. 26 Local sees a "dark figure" that they claim is an oil leak. Also in the helicopter is a Japanese businessman with his suitcase handcuffed to his own wrist. Some believe that there may be Seabed's Nectar inside.

Clip 2: From on the station, we see panicked scientists and workers running to the top floor. Men in black ski masks and jackets with Tagruato's logo on the arm point guns and possibly shoot at them.

Clip 3: From a motorboat leaving the station. A Japanese man in a dress shirt and a tie, two men in orange contsruction uniforms and hardhats, and two of the aforementioned "men in black." A screech is heard from behind them, and debris starts shooting out of the sea. Someone yells, "Take cover!" A metal structure falls on the boat.

Key Facts
*355 people were on the station. Tagruato only recognizes 7 missing.
*German engineer says that this collapse is structurally impossible.
*Tagruato is blaming it on TIDO Wave.
*20h Info interviews Mme Leclerc, whose son was an engineer on Chuai, and some think her son is Teddy Hanssen. (I don't.)

That's kind of when I stopped paying attention. What am I missing? I know theres also a kind of mayday call in the Japanese version.

EDIT: I was thinking like Mecha-Godzilla kind of wording but its confusing. changed.

The Japanese mayday call concerns a distressed tanker. Discussion of this topic can be found here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23255

Is it take cover? I keep hearing "incoming." Of course, I keep hearing incoming everywhere I go.

I've looked over the videos again and again... The one thing that really sticks out in my mind is the Spanish video.

THANK YOU for posting this thread. i went to bed last night seeing that the thread had gotten to like 30 pages in only like 4 hours, and when i got on this afternoon is was at like 80 pages so i have been kinda out of the loop.

Here is my question, i saw in one of the videos (i think it was the japanese one) that they were talking about a tanker, did that vid ever get translated, i would like to know what that part was saying as it could possibly hold a large connection to the tanker that we first saw in the widget clip.

I think Dennis has translations up here: http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-chuai-station-news-videos-english.html. They are probably somewhere in the long thread too but this is just easier.

Anybody else hear the MGP roar in the Spanish one when the meta bits start popping up before the metal structure hits the boat?

i can actually hear the roar in all the videos, twice actually. on roar is when we see the inside of the rig, when the scientist are running up the stairs. and the second is when they are fleeing in the boat.

BTW it's "mega" -thread, not "mecha" -thread. I have to be a spelling Nazi here because, as it stands, your Topic description makes no sense.
(A mechanical thread?!?)

Best intro ever!! Smile

This could be the initial awakening of MGP. Maybe buried underneath the sea floor (as said numerous times)? But then again to create an earthquake, seismic tremors, etc... that carries thru tectonic plates would take something "galactic", much larger than MGP. But.... hey... It's a movie, we are supposed enjoy the film and imagine we are there and not turn into MIT geologists, physicists, astronomers and whatever PhD I can't afford Smile There is not enough information for me to conclude anything, but there is speculation to derive a probable outcome. NYC is toast...

You may want to add the list of names from the russian and japanese video that tag released as "missing" to the summary. I maybe wrong but the fact that the JP video specifically singled out and highlighted them seems to scream clue.

From Transparent Blue's post:
Quote:
TAGRUATO CORPORATION can confirm that the incident took place between the 26th and 27th of December 2007. No loss of life has been confirmed, but TAGRUATO CORPORATION regrets that a number of TAGRUATO employees and independent contractors who were on the CHUAI DRILLING STATION at the time of the incident are reported missing. Confirmed missing are: Hideaki Sakamoto, Gerhard Ploecker, Tsuneo Matsuhara, Dr. Paul Nightingale, Donald Carter, Francois Nouvelle, Andy Young-Mun. Search operations are in effect and every effort is being made to identify and trace the missing individuals.

Thanks for the new thread. I tried for 2 days to sift through that thread and it was like being in Groundhod Day. This is much better.

last time I tried the link from the mega thread I got the dreaded "this video is no longer available" message I haven't seen it on the Tube yet.
