I don't think the station fell on Dec 27. The only source for that is TAG who are suspect of course. Dec 27 is when TIDOWave would have been in the area for the event if they had just got back and posted on Jan 1.

I think it fell earlier and TAG is giving that date because it can be show TIDOwave was in the area and so they, as eco-terrorists, can be blamed for taking the station down.

Yep, that's the one where it's most visible.

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.


1. He is Pissed off that something heavy is falling on him.
2. Important document
3. MGP helped take down the platform. TIDOwave helped infiltrate. I'm not saying the two are in conjunction.
4. Maybe TIDOwave members in Tagruato uniforms?
5. MGP threw it up in the air (it was part of the station).
6. MGP ripped it off of the station, when metal is being ripped off of something, it tends to screech.

Notice the similarities between the flying debris here and the explosion from the trailers and commercials. I'd hedge my best on this piece of SPEC: The monster has some kind of ability to make things explode in more than just a simple brute force kick-and-punch kind of way.

The tidowave event was already having problems on the 18th. I don't think this was the event.

Also, they might be agruato on youtube because of all the videos already with tagruato as a tag. Although I don't see how agruato is any better...

I got it first man, sorry Wink

I think starshiptrooper is prolly right about it just being something that fell off of the platform.

german one translation:

aproxamitly 1300kilomenter away from the coast of new york city 3 days ago an oil rig sunk out of unexplainable bases.
a few moments ago international news agencies send us dramaticaly pictures showing us the platform collapsing.
(cant even identify what the guys in the helicopter are saying)
the videos show the station sinking out of unexplainable bases that even for experts, cant explain.
at the time of the disaster were 355 workers on board.
chuai platform in September 2007 was opened and is one of the biggest oil rigs in the world.
its run by the japanese large-scale enterprise Tagruato wich is located in tokio.
the highly developed drilling system was planned by Zwichau Engineering (could also be Zwickau Engineering) under the direction of Dominik Möltgen.
We interviewed him if the collapse of the station was caused by bad planning.

"from the structural side there is no evidence of fail to the essential structure of the platform or one of the security systems that could have caused that-massive disaster.
its simply and simply impossible. it is physically impossible."

(medical guys shown)

while the videos are of rather bad quality it seems like you can see gunfire from the platform.

tagruato was already accused in the past to employ a huge privat army and experts are exermining if the rapid evacuation of the crew members was caused by a para militaristic attack.

according to current reports people got killed wich in turn is denied by tagruatos press people.
its not clear if germans were on board.



tryed my best.... hope it helps.
btw in the end it looks like those ninja guys are either killing or holding a majority of the crew members back... pretty weird. just look how few of them escape -.-

Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!! This footage is AWESOME! I heard the roars in each of the videos. Even with poor quality, the footage of the station being yoked is GREAT! So much for the closing off of the underwater lab theory (maybe...).

Questions:
If the news reports say that there were some human casualties, but even so, they have to have a shiteload of boats, copters, etc., to get 355 people off that platform. I didn't see any others the copter and the boat.

It would make sense that Tag would have a private army - they are shady and were probably working on something untoward at that station. Bold Futura was probably involved in a big way there. Plus, with TIDOwave on their backs, they probably felt they needed some heavy duty firepower, UNLESS, they had them there, because they KNEW they were dealing with something strange in the deep blue sea.....

Also, each news report had poor sound, with the background videos almost overpowering the reporters, making it hard to hear and translate. All of the reports were from Europe, too. Wonder when Americans will get wind of this, or at least the BBC.

yea or something like that....maybe some thing similar to what jamie received through the post.

i think tagruato is trying to blame this whole catastrophe on tido wave...presumably they ll also gonna say its their fault that the monster destroyed nyc because they fucked up the station (after infiltrating it etc)

It's not to far off, don't freak out about it to much. I'm sure it was rushed a bit and they were just going off the best information they have at the moment. It happens all the time in real life.

EDIT: Looks like they are in the same spot to me.
