She had me at "An explosive anniversary-". I love how subtle her accent is while still being evident. The rest of the broadcast is not bad either.
"Ripple Rock was an underwater, twin-peaked mountain in the Seymour Narrows of the Discovery Passage in British Columbia, Canada, a part of the marine trade route from Vancouver and coastal points north. The nearest town was Campbell River. Only 2.7 meters (9 feet) underwater at low tide, it was a marine hazard, described by the explorer George Vancouver as "one of vilest stretches of water in the world." It was destroyed by a planned explosion on April 5, 1958. Fifty years later, the City of Campbell River commissioned a Vancouver-based special effects firm to "recreate" the blast."
