Well this is interesting

I’ve been obsessed with this event. There is very little information on the impact. The sonic booms recorded in other countries are so loud. I wonder if everyone on Tonga will have hearing loss or if the sound waves had an effect. The only photos I’ve seen from after show lots of ash and some debris. But still no word on deaths and very limited footage. And Mango? Amy survivors???

A thread on Indigenous Twitter today:

Led me to poke around for context, during which I found this interesting bit of writing:

All sortsa issues around anthropology, ethnobotany, history, cultural appropriation and exploitation, etc. And, given the molecular makeup of Australian native plants, possibly psychopharmacology as well.

Time to fuel-up the Glomar Explorer.

The water-manipulating aliens speak Russian with various incongruous accents?

I guess someone was really reaching for an analogy. :smiley:

Both are about military hardware hidden in the icy depths? Seems pretty straightforward to me. Now, a deepstar 6 reference would be puzzling.

Was Abyss ever released in HD?

Sure, that was the background to The Abyss, but saying that movie was about it is a bit of a reach. And Hunt for Red October was about a plan to hide the hardware rather than recover it. Just a really odd mashup to think about, and “countries try to recover crashed and sunken plane” is only one word more… :smiley:

Dunno on hd releases, but apparently it streams in HD on Amazon Prime.

Never saw that one, but I’m assuming it’d be as interesting as adding Sphere to the mix.
