:21:01
of those seven public workers.
:21:04
Take a look at this.
:21:08
OK. Um, what am I looking at?
:21:11
That lake was 62 degrees yesterday.
Today it's up to 68.
:21:14
- Yeah, it's a sunny day.
- It is lovely, isn't it?
:21:17
It takes a geological event to heat a million
gallons of water by six degrees in 12 hours.
:21:22
What is a geological event?
:21:25
I'm sure you're aware of this,
that our continents sit on tectonic plates.
:21:29
- Great big rafts on an ocean of molten rock.
- Yeah.
:21:32
When they shift, like they did this morning,
we get an earthquake. OK?
:21:36
Yeah.
:21:38
Same mechanism
can sometimes open a fissure, sometimes.
:21:42
Magma can find
one of those fissures and rise up through it.
:21:47
What's magma?
:21:48
- Lava.
- Lava? Uh, here in LA?
:21:52
It's one of several possibilities.
:21:55
It is unlikely, but it is a possibility.
:21:57
We have a history of that
in the downtown area?
:22:00
Paracutin, 1943, a Mexican farmer
sees smoke coming out of his cornfield.
:22:05
A week later there was a volcano 1,000ft high.
:22:08
There's no history of anything
until it happens, then there is.
:22:12
Well, thanks, ladies.
:22:14
Um,
:22:15
enjoy your day in the park.
:22:19
- Ooh, yeah, that was subtle.
- What? You want me to humor him?
:22:23
He asked us for a hypothesis.
You have a better one?
:22:26
It's lava.
:22:27
Lava, hm.
:22:29
Hey, hey, that's me!
My God, I'm gonna call my mom.
:22:32
- Uh-huh.
- I'm on the TV, man!
:22:35
Excuse me.
:22:36
You invited us, remember?
:22:38
You want me to call Olber
and tell him the demonstrable risk is lava?
:22:42
- Just give me time to do my work.
- Cos a lake went up a few degrees?!
:22:45
No, because seven men baked to death
and nobody knows why.
:22:49
MTA does not answer to the city.
:22:50
I cannot go to the mat with them
unless you know something.
:22:54
I do know something,
:22:55
just not with any certainty.
:22:58
Is that the company line?
