Brad is seen intently listening to the historian explain what happened to her, yet a few short hours later he needs to call to the lab and ask Steve what went on there ?

If I didn't know that production simply copied that clip from when Brad was talking to the engineer, I'd suspect he had some serious attention problems.  

But then again- he goes on to say "Japanese planes are smashing into the ship, torpedoes are hittin" when if he had been listening he would know one torpedo hit the ship and one Japanese plane smashed into it.

( Maybe he should be forced to carry a notepad on the walkthrough? )

Yet another new theory – the insulated pipes and steel cause the "energy" to rickochet around forever ???

Anyone check for Japanese EVP's ? 

If anyone had an emotional reason to stick around it would have been the frustrated kamikazi dude who didn't sink the ship.
