That boat seemed to be crushed by a huge falling object, but the footage was recovered somehow, If it wasn't for the helicopter footage, I'd think tidowave had recovered it, and lied about finding nothing in their blog.


i think its just a flaw in the story, which often happens in movies. Remember this isnt real...


I know Very Happy Anyway, the helicopter could have tried to rescue the guys, and got the footage that way.


I'm pretty sure it's a 'fill the gap with your own imagination' situation... I'm sure the monster's origin will be the same way.

 		Regarding the escaping boats.

We don't know exactly how long this whole incident took. There could've been more than one boat that escaped. We only see one boat escape.

Also I find it odd that there is decent camera footage from both the heli and raft. Weird that they'd have a video camera on both, but that might just be stretching reality on the puppetmasters' part.

 		btw, a friend of mine has something to say about the blowhole idea: "gets a gerter stuck in its blowhole.... that'd be a sucky way for a monster to die"

Off topic, we wrote 73 pages in 2 days. Compare to the Myspace thread: 73 pages in 2.5 months. Yeah.


Yeah, too bad 50 pages of it is

"There's a tentacle!'
"The monster is swimming away!"
"There's LOTS of tentacles!"
"I can PROVE it! Look at these blurry pics that you can't really make out anything in except Chuai's tennis court for the 10th time today! See! Tentacles!"

Still no info on the French lady, LeClerc? That's abigger clue than black blobs in the water. And, keep the discussion about the distress call, and where it came from going. That interests me, because just three days ago I said
"Since Tagruato sent a tanker to investingate, think we'll get a distress call from the tanker soon? Something like 'Something's following us?'"

Someone asked where would that distress call come from, and i said;

"Coast Guard, maybe?"

Don't know where that thread is, it was before The Great Restructuring, and I can't find it. Anybody remember that?

 		it can be safe to assume that the other 300 evacuated beforehand, like hours beforehand.

This debate could go round forever.

Starship, I'm with you. I see no tentacles. Only water movement, but our beloved monster must have multiple appendages to fling things up the way he/she/it does. There's 11 days left, or less if you're going to a screening, so we will see soon enough.


I'd say that from the power and trajectory of the flying objects, they aren't being thrown through water or tossed by a tentacle. Just not very likely.

I'm thinking there are definitely multiple blowholes ejecting the debris. In through the mouth and out through the blowholes. I'm looking up info on whale blowholes right now.


This is possible. However, I have a hard time believing that this thing is going to shoot massive girders out of its noses. Unless these blowholes are freaking huge (not unlike the common lion, j/k) I don't think these girders would fit.



There really isn't any better explanation for the projectiles. We are talking about a huge freakin animal. 15 feet across isn't so big by size comparison. No way we can prove this at this point, but I think it lends credence to the idea that MGP has some whale-mut attributes.

...and if you think about it, that's a pretty cool monster superpower. Scary and visual.

* and hey....it was either looking up porn or whale blowholes. A geek has to have priorities.


Heheh I know, I just find the phrase funny Smile

Yeah, in the real world, you wouldn't be able to pick up a cell phone floating in the ocean and recover video from it.

Plus, I don't think the guy filming had time to select "Stop" and "save" before the girder hits the boat.

Makes me wonder, do cell phones generally record the video stream as a temporary file of some sort, or do they record to memory only? I don't think cell phones have much volatile memory, so I doubt they'd be using the latter method. Maybe someone more familiar with cell phone hardware in this respect can help us out.

 		Anyone else feel like we're following a trail of internet breadcrumbs that every 30 feet leads off to a stream filled with Trout?

Just throwing that out there...

It happened fast, we do know that. Cell phones that record video are not at all uncommon, recovering it from the ocean and it still working, not so sure about that.

I've got it! There are no clues! They are getting the backstory out there. They don't have time for us to uncover clues and solve riddles. They have to be on a strict schedule to release this stuff. Hell I am starting to think it has always been that way and the few clues "discovered"(jllovesth, TIDO) were PM's.

Just my thought


Isnt that what JJ said. The clues most of us are trying to uncover ties into the backstory.
Ex. Finding out what the sation was really for.
Not tying into the backstory:
Ex. OH MY BUHDA THERES A TENTCLE IN THIS VIDEO (due to the production value i am 100% its not MGP)

Cell phones can send videos. And knwoign Japanesetechnology it can send any duration of a video. So they could of sent it to a source who supplied the video to the people who sent the videos to the "press"

What is the "oil rig" or whatever its called really there for.
For one there are scientists on the rig, and there is no need for scientists on an oil rig.
There is also "ninja's" or armed guards, also not present on an oil rig.
SO it is clear that it is not an oil rig.
What is its purpose, (if its not in the 70 pages of stuff already)


This is in line with my theory that Tag built Chuai for YMR-type activities, and that they are directly responsible for creating MGP. Teddy said "They found something....or they're making something"

I think it's a bit of both.....gene manipuation of some species...maybe the source of the DSN

I also think this is important as this will at least give us confirmation of how the monster gets to New York. Any Japanese speakers, can you please take a listen to the Japanese news report again, paying special attention to the distress call and where it comes from?

You guys seriously think that there are survivors? You guys seriously think that Tagruato would want any survivors? The only people Tag would want to survive are the big-wigs and that's it. The workers didn't survive. You wanna know why they didn't say 300 dead workers- Think about where the news is getting this information: Tagruato. 300 dead workers doesn't look good on a company's history. 300 grunts are dead folks. Not that Tagruato intentionally released the monster to attack the Chuai Station, but they're not sad over the loss of their 'grunt workers'. They were probably gonna kill them anyways eventually... Retirement = Death. Look at Kazui Ichigawa.

 		The same friend who gave the brilliant blowhole insight now suggests that maybe there are a bunch of monster under the water chucking shit up into the air.
I've read every page here, and I haven't seen the possibility mentioned that, maybe, there's more than one monster attacking the platform. Not that it's overly important, but...
