Re: Cloverfield (JJ Abrams, viral marketing)

Is this the Cloverfield monster? (Linked just in case it turns out to be real.)

Three news reports (none of which are in English) have popped up on youtube. They depict the destruction of Tagarato's Chaui station, which is the one closest to New York and supposedly holds a "dark secret". Notice how after the platform goes under pieces start being thrown back up.

German Chuai News: YouTube - Gesunkende Bohrinsel - Hat jemand was davon gehört?
Italian Chuai News: YouTube - Misteriosa esposione
Spanish Chuai News: YouTube - Es esto verdad? Es cierto? Hundimiento plataforma

Oh, and the english translation:

Part1:
Approx. 1300 km out the coast of New York - 3 days ago, for unknown reasons - a drilling platform sunk. Recently international News distributed dramatical pictures from the collaps of the platform. The videos show ... (what you can see and what he already said) ... and experts have no explanation. (Bad animation included).

At the time 355 men were present on the platform (working, reading Playboy magazines, eating or sleeping). The "Chuai" drilling platform was opened in September 2007 (not so long ago, is it ?) and is one of the largest in the world. It's owned by the japanese bigsize-company "Takhuato". The high-tech drilling-system was developped by the German company "Zwickau engineering" in Leipzig by the Diploma-engineer Dominik Möltgen. We asked him, if the collaps could have been caused by wrong planing.

Part 3: (interview)
"From structural reasons there is no proove the the basic structure (What? there is no structural reason that the structure ... blablabla ...) or one of the security system could have caused such a hugh catastroph. (Hopefully a security system is never cuasing it, but did it fail ? Even the interview is very poorly made.) This is not only totally out of the question, it is physically impossible."

Part4: (Shooting)
Despite the bad quality of the videos from the platform it seems that there has been shooting. "Takhuato" was already earlier suspected to employ a big private army. And Experts (not technical experts this time, I hope) are trying to find out if the hasty getaway from crew-members was caused by a para-military attack. Actual informations say that there have been human casualities, which "Takhuato" denies. It is not yet clear, if there have been german people in the crew.
