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."

nominoThe Canadian accent. you guys can't hear it? Are you canadian perhaps?
asynchroniceDon't hear it; she looks like a pole sticking out a tent.
2pornot2psays...I hear it, but it's subtle, like you said. cool documentary though. someone should put a *fail tag because of that shitty explosion recreation at the end.
siftbotInvocations (fail) cannot be called by 2pornot2p because 2pornot2p is not privileged - sorry.
RaigenI heard a hint of french in there, but it was ridiculously minute.
I probably don't hear anything close to what Nomino hears though, damn me being Canadian.
doogleI'm Canadian, and don't hear it.
GuyIncognitosays...Vancouver reporting in. She sounded like your average local newscaster.
