Ok. Wow. So much to process.

TIDOwave is IG. 100%. Without a doubt.
These videos are IG. 100%. Without a doubt.

We need translations. The old Japanese guy they show with Tagruato is too old to be Ganu. Who the hell is he? We need to know.

In the footage on the station, they linger on the guy in the black ski mask. He's important. Why?

The first video references several names that are clearly distinguishable. We need to extract these names.

The monster roar can be heard clearly in the third video when the debris shoots out of the water.

Someone needs to keep an eye on the Jamie video site, it's possible she might see something like this and have an "oh shi-" moment, prompting a new video upload.

Oh my god. This is intense.

Ok, my boyfriend says the german one was basically this:

there were 355 ppl on board, and chuai was one of the biggest oil rigs in the world.

then they spoke to the structural engineer guy and he said that it was basically impossible for the structure to just fail like that on its own. and its still unknown how or why it was destroyed.

There are several references in the videos to seismology information. This can be related back to the earthquake felt in the first trailer, and it can explain why the station collapses without any sign of the monster actually coming up and destroying it.

The German guy is saying that 1) the destruction of the station is unexpected, dramatic and unexplainable, blah blah. 355 workers were on the platform at the time.
2) Then he mentions the engineer mentioned above, who swears that what happened is impossible from a scientific point of view.
3) Then he says that gunfire is to be heard on the videos from the station- and that Tagruato has been "accused in the past" of having a "large private army", and the possibility of a terrorist attack is being investigated by "experts".

ok a few things

1) MGP ROARS AT THE END OF #3!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

2) The earthquake in #2? Is that MGP breaking out of the earth?

3) in all the videos, when the people are inside... they keep looking back at something in horror. MGP?

needless to say, AMAZING. Very Happy

Oh God, I just about lost it when GP (?) sprayed up debris at the end of one of those videos.

This whole thing is simply amazing and awesome.

Great finds, all.

did people find some foreign websites that we havent? i think the key is finding out where these videos came from, not what they are saying.

Location: The North Atlantic, after the destruction of the chuai station.

I could have swore i heard the roar during the collapse of chuai and when the people are evacuating, this is definitely MGP's doing. another nail in the coffin is the debris flying out of the ocean. And who is that ninja guy, possibly Teddy??

To add to my list of interesting things that must be checked -

1. The aerial falling first;
2. The Japanese businessman in the helicopter not looking too fussed until near the end, when he seems to tell the cameraman to turn the camera off (see the Spanish clip);
3. The Japanese document in the Italian news piece;

I have some more questions -

1. What's up with the debris being projected high into the air at the end of the German clip? MGP getting a little angry the debris is raining down on him, perhaps?
2. Why is the briefcase handcuffed to the aforementioned Japanese businessman in the Spanish video?
3. The seismograph two of the clips show show off-the-chart readings - does that mean an earthquake felled Chuai? Or was it maybe MGP going for a morning jog?
4. Why do the Tag guards look like terrorists?
5. How did that video showing the escaping survivors survive, if they were hit by flying metal?
6. At around 2:12-2:13 on the Spanish video, there's a screech before the debris starts coming back up. Is that MGP?

Still, incredibly impressive.

The Italian video (second one) shows Chuai in a very different location from the drilling map it would seem. Odd.
The third video is in Spanish, in case anyone missed the difference between in and the Italian one.

all I got from the spanish one was

the Chuai station was doing something technologically and drilling for petrol and that it explodes mysteriously.

If there wasnt so much friggin noise then I could concentrate on what she was saying

I am german - translation in progress:

1300 kilometres off the coast of New York 3 days ago , unknown reason, oil rig (the chuai station) was destroyed.

we just received these recordings showing the event in progress from several international news stations.

the videos do not show any reason why this could have happened. even the experts have no idea. at the time of the catastrophe 355 workers were on the station.

the chuai station was opened in September 2007 and is one of the biggest oil rigs in the whole world. the station is run by the japanese business "tagruato" with their offices in tokyo (duh!). the highly technological advanced station was developed by the firm "Zwichau Engineering" from Leipzig (germany) under the leadership of diploma engineer Dominik Möltgen. We asked him if there was any chance something like this could have happened due to a technical construction error.

- looking at the construction from a structural point of view there is no way such a catastrophe could have happened. there is no question..something like that is "physically impossible!

though the videos are of very poor quality it seems like there is gunfire coming from the stations platform.

tagruato has been accused before of building and maintaining a "private army". at this moment experts are researching whether or not the chaotic escape of some of the employees can be linked to a paramilitary attack of some sort.

several reports indicated human casualties, however tagruato's official spokesmen denied any losses.

it is unclear if there were Germans involved in the tragedy.
