3 is a coincidence. 8 is something else entirely. WTF is going on?

Were I the really paranoid type, I'd say it's an NSA tap into the world's internet traffic gone wrong.
Aren't all those cables located right next to each other? And this: http://fallbackbelmont.blogspot.com/2008/02/and-then-there-were-five.html Is pretty much why I don't care.
Intriguing. On one hand, taking out command and control is the first step in military action. On the other hand, you don't want to take out anything you would like to use yourself. And why Dubai? Neither would surprise me if it turned out to be the case...
Somebody wasn't paying attention when they were weed-wacking. I've seen this happen before. They should have hired Mexicans!
It sounded ridiculous at first but maybe they're right, or at least somewhat right. I may soon join the growing number of folk who believe Cloverfield is non-fiction.
The major incident was a cable caught accidentaly in an anchor wasnt it? take it the authorities know which ship this was and why the mistake was made dont they?
It's obviously sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads doing all the cutting. Run for your lives!
Funny thing about that. It supposedly had occured off the cost of Egypt, but Egypt has camera's that point off that way, there were no ships present.
