In the title text {{w|James Cameron}} is excusing about a song. Is it {{w|Celine Dion}}, or {{w|Enya}}, or what does it mean? --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 23:20, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

: It's not actually a reference to a song. Randall is implying that James Cameron encountered an otherworldly, Lovecraftian entity of some sort, and his mortal ears couldn't resist the pull of the creatures song, hence he failed to close the door in time and has possibly led to all of our deaths.

:: I thought it meant it was a beautiful (angelic?) presence he found, but he didn't close the door in time and the water rushed in and extinguished it...[[User:Mathmannix|Mathmannix]] ([[User talk:Mathmannix|talk]]) 19:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Elevations above sea level mostly aren't shown. For instance, Crater Lake's surface is at 1883 m. [[User:Wwoods|Wwoods]] ([[User talk:Wwoods|talk]]) 18:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 
 
I just added a few items that had been left off the transcript.  Also I rearranged some items, according to this scheme: everything near sea level (above ~1500m down, where the Oil Well is) is now in left-to-right order, while everything below that is in top-to-bottom order.  I think this makes it easier to follow.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.40|108.162.219.40]] 04:13, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 
 
:Well, I _did_. But since then the transcript seems to have been reverted to a version from before my changes.  Which means that the items I discovered were missing from the transcript are (again) missing.... [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.40|108.162.219.40]] 05:23, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 
 
::Eugh... this kind of thoughtless adminning is why I stopped caring about Wikipedia... [[Special:Contributions/108.162.249.155|108.162.249.155]] 23:39, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 
 
The door at the bottom of the Marianas Trench could be a reference to the podcast The Leviathan Chronicles. {{unsigned ip|173.245.48.102}}
