😮 GAW CRIME SCENE 😮
Well, whatever. I was going off of memory from what Dad told me nearly 30 years ago. In any case, they had to retrieve the film as it dropped to the surface.
About the oceans drained, the way they think it works is that Antarctica forms the outside ring wall that holds it all in. If that is the world we live in, then it really is an incredibly stupid and boring reality.
Your memory was not bad, just shaky on the details. My remark about ocean draining was facetious and futile. As you say, they would retreat into a labyrinth of supportive fantasies. Notwithstanding anyone can actually get to the south pole and prove, by astronomical observation, that it must be the south pole. What strikes me is how dismally ignorant and dimwitted they are.
