They've already brought up a government conspiracy to cover up the moon landings since they found aliens. That's worse.Thaliur said:I really feared they might bring up the fake moon landing thing...thenumberthirteen said:Also nobody saw that giant crashed spaceship before (such as the Russians who photographed the dark side of the Moon first) because... they were... because it's a Michael Bay film and logic and reason do not exist there. Maybe they all got that contagious amnesia that everyone got at the end of the first film as somehow they were able to cover up the existence of Transformers despite having a MASSIVE BATTLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!! I've actually read Mt Bay's explanation as to why everyone forgot about that. I won't repeat it as it is offensively stupid.
OK, I'll try some suspension of disbelief...
And now I'm looking for that explanation.
I'll give you his explanation (or at least what I read). Remember that big Tsunami that struck Indonesia and a large part of Southern Asia on Christmas 2004 killing hundreds of thousands and leaving millions homeless? Well according to Michael Bay everyone's forgotten about it now, and so people just forgot that giant robots destroyed a city. Seriously. That's his explanation.
Since it happened on American soil and many people were killed or injured with widespread destruction in the middle of a large city I'd equate it more to 9/11 with Space Robots.
