...right, and 10 or 15 thousand people all agreed that nothing happened. All the video of it got deleted. The destruction in the city was blamed on... umm... All the sailors kept their mouths shut, the couple dozen people who died's familys all agreed to go along with it, etc.Tsukiyumi wrote:Except they're still unknown. The writers said the government basically told people it didn't happen, and most people went along with it.

That makes no sense.
Hey, it happens. The Mexico City incident was just a f*ckload of giant weather balloons, right?Bay explained the battle at Mission City did not expose the Transformers to the public. "Everybody has gone ahead. It's realistic. Two weeks after the tsunami, nobody talked about it anymore. It's very weird. We decided to do the same with the Transformers. The government talks about a military thing, says all is false, that it's a joke, and people don't know what they really saw." Orci cited the Phoenix Lights incident as an inspiration for how the Transformers manage to stay covert after the previous film, and added it was an interesting idea for how would the government "hide Optimus Prime".
The what with the who now?Mikey wrote:How's the roof on your library, BTW, Tsu?
Right, because nobody even recalls that little spell of rain they got in New Orleans, or anything, right?
Oh, right. I honestly forgot about it.Mikey wrote:My point is, that nobody in the US is saying, "What hurricane, now?"

So is the idea that the Earth was created in six literal days, yet people still believe that.Tyyr wrote:And I find it impossible. Frankly the whole idea that it just got ignored is laughable.Tsukiyumi wrote:I still think it's possible, if unlikely.
Agreed. In an age where probably over half the population is carrying around a cell phone with a camera in it, where anyone can upload pics and video to a world wide network of computers, in a country with a free press and freedom of speech, the idea that such a battle could take place in the middle of a major city, and then be completely hushed up, is beyond absurd. Unless they were pulling out MIB neuralizers and wiping memories, and deleting all cell phone pics and vids, and grabbing memory cards and film from cameras and cam-corders, there's just no way. Plus there's all that damage, which would look nothing like any sort of natural disaster. Giant sized foot prints in the street, thousands upon thousands of bullet holes, craters from energy and ballistic explosions. Yes, not everyone would know what they were looking at, but in a city of hundreds of thousands, there would be enough people who would know what kind of damage they were seeing, battle damage. There is no way you could suppress that kind of event. It'd be as likely as supressing the 9/11 events. Word of that was getting out before the second plane even hit, and there were hundreds of videos and photos of it.Tyyr wrote:And I find it impossible.

How many people just filed auto insurance claims with the cause of the accident listed as "Stepped on by a giant robot."
