What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThis is BBN Investigates. Tonight, a video with a very long title, a Part 2, and a burger with a question mark over it.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have covered coups on four continents, Hank. None of them came with a Part 2 and a hamburger.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNoted. Now, the file. A video posted from Hong Kong International Airport's feed, twelve minutes ago, titled one versus five kambal hayma, Part 2.

  4. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI ran the title through every chart I own. It says one versus five, and then it says nothing.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNothing.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOur editors rate its importance at one out of five. That is the lowest classification we have. Which is exactly what a cover-up would want.

  7. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAgreed. If I were hiding something, I would also make it a one out of five.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet's build the timeline. When did this start?

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPart 2 is trending tonight. That means there was a Part 1. Somebody posted it, somebody watched it, and somebody demanded more.

  10. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMy chart shows demand rising as the title gets longer. It proves nothing, but it is a very handsome line.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWho benefits?

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe second file is from Kalkine Media, which asks whether one new burger can turn around traffic trends at A and W.

  13. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentOne burger. Against traffic trends. I find that ambitious, and I have questions about the burger.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTraffic as in customers, or traffic as in the highway?

  15. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCustomers, Hank. Though I have been stuck on both, in Kabul and at a drive-through.

  16. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHere is my chart. Burgers go up. Foot traffic goes up. Correlation. Please do not put this in a journal.

  17. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIs there any link between the video and the burger?

  18. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBoth are posted online. Both are about wanting more. And both have a question hanging over them.

  19. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat is a link in the way two people in an elevator are linked.

  20. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI went down the rabbit hole. Kambal is a word meaning twin in Tagalog. A twin burger, a twin video.

  21. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI tore down a wall over it.

  22. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGloria. Did you tear down the studio wall?

  23. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOnly the corkboard. The twin theory does not hold up. It was never about twins.

  24. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSo the conclusion is that there is no conclusion, which is my favorite kind.

  25. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThen here is the verdict. The video got a Part 2 because people watched Part 1, and nobody has proof the burger will fix anything.

  26. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe file stays open. We do not know what a kambal is, and I will not eat at A and W until we do.

  27. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt is a burger, Gloria. File closed.
