February 2, 2008 - BBC World (I believe the number of cut cables is up to four now?)

1. Yea they were cut intentionally. The more ominous question is why?

[aquart]

3. Does ANYONE benefit from this?

Of course, if all four cables were made with the same flaw, the same weakness, they could have failed at roughly the same time...

How much is this gonna COST?

on edit: has anyone or anything gone down to SEE if the cables were sliced? And where?

5. I read that they will be fixed by 2/12

so someone must have gone down to take a look at the damage and make that time assessment. The 'official' story has anchors damaging the cables.

6. How close to shore are they?

7. Don't know but here is another thread just started

8. Well it depends on the motive right?

And I don't believe in coincidences like these- the same flaw happening around the same time? hunh....nope not buying it.

Theres more to this story.

4. Who benefits from the cut cables?

Who benefits from the ME and India not having access to the Internet? No, I don't have the answer but I find it very curious. Who would benefit from their economies being effected?

2. UMMM! How would this many fail otherwise?

Nothing about this makes any sense!

9. Of course they were cut, but.............

We'll never hear for sure how and why. These stories come and go with no follow up, we need to hear more about Britney and her train wreck of a family than we do important and major stories. It drives me crazy!
