 =Submarine lost under Los Angeles=
-A message minister (Jason Watkins) told the story of a nuclear submarine that was exploring a large cave system under California but lost its way and was unable to find its way out. Everyone on board perished.
+You can find some conspiracy theorists on the internet that believe that there is a secret U.S. Navy submarine base under the Nevada desert and that submarines travel to the Pacific Ocean using underground ocean caverns that run several hundred miles from Monterey, CA inland.  There is also a story floating around that the U.S. Navy discovered a huge network of tunnels under portions of the west coast of the U.S. and that U.S. nuclear submarines had explored some of these tunnels, which are accessible just off the continental shelf, and had followed them inland for several hundred miles. The story goes on that a well-known U.S. Nuclear submarine lost its way in one of the passages and was never heard from again (it would have to be either the U.S.S. Thresher and the U.S.S. Scorpion).
-The claim is that these caves are structurally unsound and a large earthquake would cause California to fall into the sea.
+It should be added that there is no scientific report for these claims.  It is quite obvious that they are false and the product of the conspiracy theory rumor mill.  That is, of course, unless you are in the message.
-It is quite bizarre that a nuclear submarine would be exploring a cave system and not the specialized robotic submarines that are built for such purposes.  The U. S Navy would allow a large nuclear submarine to explore an unknown cave system that could cause its loss?  Not a chance.
+A message minister (Jason Watkins) told the story of a nuclear submarine that was exploring a large cave system under California but lost its way and was unable to find its way out. Everyone on board perished.  He went on to state that these caves are structurally unsound and a large earthquake would cause Los Angeles to fall into the sea.
+Nice story but simply another message urban legend.
