Think so, huh? Well, they're not gonna get the reporter to the middle of the Atlantic, so what's the next best thing to provide dramatic effect? That would be the dark.
In fact, I was just watching on Live at 5 the other day where they had the reporter outside (as they always do), and where they were had absolutely nothing to do with anything. They were standing out in the snow, and I believe they were talking about kittens or something. Anywho, the darkness is for dramatic effect. And, I'd say, it works.


Dramatic effect?
Is it a fluff piece or something that needs dramatic effect?
Wouldn't it be a hole lot more dramatic to have a news anchor read it?
Say like all the other news casts?
Even a just an actor playing a news anchor?

Exactly my point: they were felt because the earthquake occured IN THE OCEAN FLOOR. Those readings weren't reading the tsunami; they were reading the earthquake that caused the tsunami.

A surface platform, with one to two miles of ocean between it and the sea floor, will not create an off the chart Richter reading four thousand miles away unless that reading originated on the ocean floor.


Ah ok, I didn't realise they'd said the platform was the cause, I'll read the transcripts again.

The clip ends before the report has even finished, I'm not going to carry on with this anymore, should be moved into its own topic like the Black Stuff one.

If I got anything from the English version, it was from the interview with the EndOil spokesperson. I found her discussion of ingested toxins affecting the food chain at all levels rather compelling.

That toxin infects the nectar which goes into whatever eats it. Whatever MGP is, maybe it started as something benign (whale, crab, squid, Cthulhu - pick your poison), it ate some tainted nectar, and the toxin mutated it to his/her present form/size. This would also travel up the food chain from the nectar to the Slusho! to the good people who can't drink just six. They get a little more than a tummy-ache from their Slusho! binge and before you know it, you get your mini-MGPs.
It's yet another lame theory in a long line of theories already put forth. But I just find it odd that of what was probably a far lengthier segment about environmental impact, PM decided to use this part about the food chain contamination. Furthermore, they saved it for the English version to insure that we all got it.


Ok, i won't trout you- but for the love of God:
"THERE IS NO OIL AT CHUAI"
making that theory practically impossible.


For the love of god, calm down. There is no mention of oil in that theory.

 		The oil controversy is a moot point. It looks like a traditional oil rig but it might be used to collect the deep sea nectar that Jamie got her first taste of. But organizations like endoil might not know that, tidowave might not know that, and the media might not know that. So who cares...Chuai got snapped in half, thats all that matters.

I put it in caps because that's how it was written,
And there is oil in that theory.

The whole reason the US Newscast had the spokesperson from End-Oil in their report is because they believe oil has spilled into the ocean.
The End-Oil spokesperson is talking about what effect oil being ingested by plankton, being ingested by fish etc etc could have on us as a people.

So, the poster (skip, right?) is basing his theory off of what the End-Oil person is saying, and the End-Oil person is talking about harmful toxins from oil.
So Skip is talking about oil.

I think it's been posted before, but BEFORE we got news of Chuai station being eaten/exploded/demolished.

SO now perhaps we know the context.
Why they're trying to downplay it? Don't know

Obviously hoping no footage would be leaked, covering up for something, hard to imagine what, though, news would get out eventually anyway.

Yes, but at no point does Skip oil is the toxin. It could be lots of things, maybe a by product of grumpy research who knows? I'm pretty sure he did not mean oil for the toxin or he would have just said oil. Or not, I don't know. Seems like there is plenty of angst in here, people telling other people 'You're doing it wrong.' Bullshit, they are just doing it differently. And if some of them don't have all the facts, or are not as smart as you, or haven't thought through their brilliant theory, just let them go. They will figure it out, or someone will POLITELY correct their mistakes.

Sorry to bag on you man, I'm just ranting in general, and your (correct in context) caps caught my eye.

Back to letting everything slide by.

How would it "get out"? An isolated platform 3000 miles away from the nearest land mass... Tagruato can spin it any way they want.

What I want to know is where these videos came from. The guys in the 2nd and 3rd videos are most likely dead.

TIDOWave was out there and saw nothing, not even debris. So let's assume that Tagruato went out there and did a clean up and recovery. These videos would be in Tag's hands and most probably destroyed or packed in a crate and placed next to the Ark of the Covenant.

If TIDOWave was out there and they got the videos, they would be rushing to air them in their own defense.

It seems to me that every American news story nowadays needs dramatic effect.
Personally, I think that the feel of each of the reports is perfect cosidering which countries they're supposed to be from.
My only real issues with the US report are: 1) when she says "A press release from Tagruato states that an extremist group - TIDOWave - may be behind the incident, so it's unknown whether the Chuai drilling station was... [and so on]" -This sounds amateurish to me, especially with the inclusion of "so" in such a formal report. 2) when the reporter is roaming indoors and speaks of the court injunction...she just seems too happy. And 3) her mic (at the beginning, especially) just looks like a piece of paper with the logo on it and the mic just floating inside (the mic is to one side, but, I believe, it should be fixed in the centre...that's all I've ever seen).

And, by the time I say this, there'll 10 new pages posted...

That would mean it was the Whistler Blower who leaked i would think.
It would also make WB very high up in TAG.
Ganu's cousin maybe?

Tarugato is harvesting the nectar, for high demand for Slusho! or for the american market demand, and the nectar is the monsters food. Tagurato knows something about the nectar and is trying to protect it with an oil rig operation front. Tido wave thinks it's just another oil rig and is just as surprised to find that something else has happened.

What do you think of that?

If the only people mentioned in the memo are the people who didn't survive, there would be lots of survivors who witnessed what happened.

If there are 300+ dead and a missing oil platform, then, well.. people are gonna want to know... how it all went down.
