You can also see that the A-10 (upper right of the screen) has just dropped its payload of five bombs. Also, there are quite a few missles homing in on whatever is in the center of the shot. No one would fire missles at or drop bombs on a nuclear explosion; no reason to do so.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835535410497074303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-82387014527158727772008-03-02T12:53:00.000-05:002008-03-02T12:53:00.000-05:00i think it´s before.it useless make someething tha...i think it´s before.<BR/>it useless make someething that is "after" if they´re thinking in a secuel. it´s a battle on the sea, so it would be just before chiuan station get destroyed, they seeked tehe mosnter, they shoot him to die...<BR/><BR/>but it just doesn´t die, and they lost it (or think he is dead...)<BR/><BR/>an some days beofre it appears in NY<BR/><BR/>everyone think it is a surpirse, but...<BR/><BR/>isn´t the army SO fast in position, like they were ready or in alert?<BR/><BR/>...or maybe it was it´s mother, who gets killed.Seinekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833764887558869254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-16406837669727649872008-01-20T19:05:00.000-05:002008-01-20T19:05:00.000-05:00is anyone else thinking A-Bomb? like these last 2-...is anyone else thinking A-Bomb? like these last 2-3 pics show us what the end of the movie doesnt<BR/>-so basically the govt said they were going to "take out all of manhattan", so they did with the a-bomb..and thats where the "it's still alive" comes from at the end of the movieharishmabishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568021169313013078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-58230304276684152272008-01-16T23:38:00.000-05:002008-01-16T23:38:00.000-05:00does any one remember he says I saw it it's alive?...does any one remember he says I saw it it's alive??!!

The only way I can think of this taking place anywhere NEAR pre-attack is if it happened a ways off shore immediately before and it couldn't get to the news and evacuation was impossible and the monster just moved too damn fast. <BR/><BR/>As for the boats firing at planes theory, I don't think so. Tagruato, regardless of whether or not they have a "Private Army" consisting of navy-class ships, they wouldn't openly fire at the UNITED STATED MILITARY and possibly run the risk of war or their company losing their shit or something. I personally think they are all US craft and are all firing at the monster, who is engulfed in the fireball at the middle of the pic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-65642834372908555372008-01-16T09:44:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:44:00.000-05:00SMOKEYI never said the Tang ships were firing at a...SMOKEY<BR/>I never said the Tang ships were firing at aircraft. I said assuming the film makers spent any time researching they're firing at something in the air OR below the surface. The ones of the left are firing something which reminds me of the anti sub rockets Russia uses. Though yes they could have just taken pics of ships firing and shopped them in there just for the pure hell of it.<BR/>But I don't believe that this is a case of Tang "creating" something and taking it to new york. its more likely they found something they thought wasn't alive. Say like an egg at the bottom of the ocean that more resembles a rock which they try to tow (as seen in the magna comic). but the egg hatches or something else. Perhaps they found this egg near the Chaui station before the attack, the Tang ships start to tow it (in one cell of the comic it appears 3 ships are towing) while trying to keep close to shore the egg hatches or mama catches up to them (last or 2nd to last cell there are eyes below the water). The Tang ships call for support from the US military which responds with land based aircraft (yes MIKEP A-10's are strictly land based) which need to visually target the creature (hence the flares). All the while the Tang ships are completely freaked out and fire everything they have. That would at least be a plausible explanation as to why the ships are so close to each other.Zaggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866930244713691866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-48379436685409777342008-01-16T00:51:00.000-05:002008-01-16T00:51:00.000-05:00Awesome pic.

But one th...ZAGGS,<BR/>You make some interesting points. But one thing is strange is that why on earth would Tagruato ships fire at planes which are targeting the central target? That makes no sense. Why would Tagruato fire against the US Military? If the monster belongs to Tag, they would just tell the military not to fire. They wouldnt try to shoot them down. Thats stupid.<BR/><BR/>The ships on the left appear to be firing from a VLS like system, the rockets/missiles seem to be launched from an angle. Tomahawk missiles can launch vertically (I dont know if they can fire on sea targets, but they could also be heat seeking missiles (reason for flares). One point you make rings true, why the heck did they not shoot TORPEDOS????? and WHY DIDNT they send out SUBS? Weird.<BR/><BR/>All I get from the image, is that EVERYONE IS FIRING AT SOMETHING IN THE CENTER and it is NIGHT. <BR/><BR/>I agree with LINDVQUIST, Those are bad photoshop images. I dont think the weapons/ships will follow current technology/reality. After all this is a monster movie, not a war movie. I dont think they're worrying about being consistent with current military technology. They could just say its "NEW" tech. Just like slusho, deep sea drilling, etc. This is after all, Fiction. However it would be nice for things to be logical.smokey671https://www.blogger.com/profile/02286484170702514209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-38447015727231289042008-01-15T22:01:00.000-05:002008-01-15T22:01:00.000-05:00WAIT, look at the Japanese manga update.

One major problem with that. Assuming they did at least a little bit of homework what you're seeing (on the right of the photo) are missiles launched from a vertical launch system (VLS). As of my typing only 2 active classes of US ships have them (Ticonderoga cruisers and Arleigh Burke class destroyers), not to mention 2 Japanese classes (Kongo and Atago) just like the one pictured in the magna article (hexagonal panel on the ship gives it away). Thing is this type of launcher fires most missiles (surface to air or SAM, tomahawk cruise missiles and anti sub rockets), EXCEPT surface to surface missiles which in the US and I think Japan is the Harpoon missiles. Those are fired from tubed launchers set at an angle. Hence they would come out at an angle, not straight up. So your possibilities are either the ships on the right are firing at aircraft or a sub surface target (though the same ships have torpedoes as well for subs, rockets are used for further away engagements).<BR/>The black boxes are on purpose and not the result of bad picture. The point of view is not a ship but an aircraft of some sort and we're seeing a replay of the aircraft's heads up display (maybe another A-10) which in the past has always had parts blacked out when released to public.<BR/>Aircraft at the top are dropping flares (possibilities are F-15s, F-18's or F-22's. I guess one of the first 2) . Is it to confuse SAM's, don't know. They could be trying to illuminate a target since there are only 4 where jets would normally pump out flare, after flare, after flare, etc. <BR/>This is all happening very, very, very closer then any naval engagement in real life. So why missiles which I wonder could even lock on that close instead of guns (the only gun being fired is from our POV aircraft and its likely a rotary cannon)? I'm not sure what the ships to the left are firing or firing at. Its salvos of something (rockets most likely) but nothing I know of in the US inventory fires like that.<BR/>The rest depends on how far out the camera is. I do not see any part of a ship in or around the explosion so I dont think its the tanker (or more likely cargo carrier) in #8 as that ship only has other tanker/cargo ships around it (with 2 army or marine blackhawks). Not to mention it appears the spray of water is much higher then the fire which would seem odd if it were causes by the explosions (wouldn't the fireball evaporate the water?).<BR/>Thats it for meZaggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866930244713691866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-62404748605764890102008-01-15T21:36:00.000-05:002008-01-15T21:36:00.000-05:00Smokey671 made a lot of good points.1) he said tha...Smokey671 made a lot of good points.<BR/><BR/>1) he said that photo #8 is at "SUNSET (not sunrise)" <BR/><BR/>2) he also said that photo #8 "could be AFTER picture 9 (aftermath picture theory)"<BR/>-Both theories make sences, but which one is right?<BR/><BR/>3) And he did point out that the ships are NOT attacking each other.

The ships are definitely NOT shooting at the planes, its just a funny angle in the picture. Those planes dropping bombs (or flares) are OVER the target, and the ships that look like they're shooting up at the planes are launching arcing missiles toward the target, which happen to LOOK like they're shooting the planes. All the ships and planes are targeting the center (monster). In the distance are 6 planes in military formation ready for another volley. <BR/><BR/>This is a COORDINATED ATTACK from the military, and is probably the first strike off the coast of New York (or could be in the harbor because of the tugboat in picture 8 and tugboats don't leave the harbor)<BR/><BR/>I suspect that the picture 8 is at SUNSET (not sunrise), and that one ship was destroyed (most likely the capsized tanker ship in New York Harbor, causing the military to investigate with choppers and more ships. I take it that the survivors radioed for help, like "help there's a huge ass thing sinking the ship! send the military! <BR/><BR/>Now, it could be that picture 8 could be AFTER picture 9 (aftermath picture theory), and that picture 8 could be at SUNRISE. But that makes little sense, because the helicopters and battleships in picture 8 are NOT SHOOTING AT ANYTHING and LOOK LIKE THEY'RE WAITING. I suspect they are INVESTIGATING AT SUNSET because a report of a sinking ship. Then when the monster appears at night and attacks again, they SHOOT which is in picture 9. <BR/><BR/>Which leads us to picture 9, shot at night, where the investigative fleet finds out what attacked the tanker is a huge ass monster and they all bomb it to hell. This huge explosion caused by all the bombs converging to one point, could be the explosion we see in the teaser trailer (or it could be the monster tossing ships into the city). Then the monster, pissed off, seeing lights in the city, makes a run towards land to escape, attacks the Statue of Liberty (thinking it tastes good), and rampages through the city (because idiots keep shooting it).<BR/><BR/>The Chuai incident had Coast Guard there. Perhaps the Coast Guard told the Army, Navy, Air Force to get ready, because they tracked the monster or something to that effect. So the tanker capsizing/attack in New York brought the military in, and this is what we are seeing in picture 8 and 9. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I could be wrong and the timeline is totally different. One thing is for sure, THE SHIPS ARE NOT SHOOTING AT THE PLANES. ALSO, they have FIVE BLURS on the NIGHT PHOTO. Two (horizontal rectangles) on the center bottom, one (Horizontal rectangle) on the left, one on the right (vert. Rectangle), and one on the top left corner(horizontal).

A-10s are only used by the Air Force, not the Navy. So it's either close to land, leaving or they knew about it ahead of time (Or JJ has made a blooper). They are also only used on surface targets.(and are absolute beasts by the way) The A-10 is firing AGM-65 Mavericks, which use infrared to lock on to thier target. There also may be atleast one more A-10 off screen, as I see another Maverick coming in, but F16s use them too.<BR/>As someone mentioned before, the planes up top (F-16s?)are dropping flares, not bombs or missiles. This most likely means they are either taking fire or about to go in for a surface attack (although I doubt they'd use flares on a monster for this purpose). <BR/><BR/>So what the heck's going on? I'm starting to think that Taruagto is using the monster for its own purposes. I'm almost certain the top planes are being shot at by the ships on the left. I'm no Navy expert, but it also seems that the battleships on the right are firing thier cannons as well. There also seems to be 6 planes flying in formation in the backround. This whole photo is confusing the hell out of me. The right ships seem to be attacking the monster, yet aren't attacking the planes which are being attacked by the boats on the left.(one of which is way too small to be Navy IMO) More questions than answers.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, a picture of the A-10 in attack, fireing what appears to be the same missles (AGM-65 Maverick): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:A-10_firing_AGM-65.JPEGErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314984582723256153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-43078379710564588832008-01-15T18:58:00.000-05:002008-01-15T18:58:00.000-05:00First post ^_^It could be something INSIDE the shi...First post ^_^<BR/><BR/>It could be something INSIDE the ship.

As someone already posted here before, the US govt/military aren't going to take any chances after 9/11.<BR/><BR/>That is, of course, assuming it *is* the US military, and not Ganu's own personal Amry, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544625628774632998.post-87500417045528558192008-01-15T18:33:00.000-05:002008-01-15T18:33:00.000-05:00So yeah, definitely a bunch of aircrafts attacking...So yeah, definitely a bunch of aircrafts attacking a bunch of ships.<BR/>Who these two teams are... no one knows yet.
