-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com ♪ >> welcome to our special report, cnn on the front lines. it's where any reporter wants to be. when it comes to all of that, it has been a very busy year for us, a busy year for the word. a year that mattered to millions. people who felt the earth torn apart and then saw the world washed away. elsewhe elsewhere, millions rose up against dictators, they watched friends and neighbors die in the streets but then tasted freedom. you'll experience all of that in the hour ahead from cnn international who were there

when it happened right from the start. january, 2011, the first rumblings of an uprising in cai cairo. crowds begin to gather in the city central square. a revolution has begun. >> egypt's dictator for 30 years, and the growing crowd of protesters want him out. but mubar digs in and the once peaceful protest turned violent. >> this is an unmistakable show of military force. fighter jets flying low over cairo's square, liberation square, which has been a symbol of defiance. >> in arabic, it means go, go.

>> fire flying through the air. the demonstrators say that's the army firing to warn them to stay away. >> forces target the unarmed protesters. journists also come under attack. >> i'm a little bit shaken because i got shoved out of the way there. this is just a completely surreal experience. okay. i'm being told, walk, walk. okay. >> i've been hit now, like, ten times. the egyptian soldiers are doing nothing. >> we'd like to be showing you instead of this picture, the strange image of us sitting on the floor in an undisclosed location. we'd like to show you live pucktures right now, but we can't do that because our cameras have systematically been

taken down through threats, through intimidation. through actual physical attacks. >> 18 days of confrontation and mubar stepping down from power. just one country away, another revolution begins in libya. >> we are the first television crew to get to this city. and we were just overwhelmed by the welcome here. people were throwing candy inside the car, clapping, shaking our hands, telling us you're welcome. thank you for coming here. an incredible experience. >> the uprising against kadhafi turns into a 7-month war. a message of total kadhafi control. >> and this is really what the libyan government wants to get out. this message that here in the capital, triply, support for kadhafi is strong, support for his government is strong.

>> nato begins its campaign to protect libyan civilians. the battle on the ground intensifies. >> this is proving to be a much tougher battle that anyone had anticipated. this city, key territory, should the pro-kadhafi elements be able to push in here, the concern is that this could potentially turn into a blood bath. >> there's gunfire all around us and we believe that kadhafi's forces are doing a round about movements. so we are rushing out of this area. >> we're going as fast as we can. >> as the fight draws closer to tripoli, kadhafi loyalists trap us inside the hotel. >> so for the past few minutes,

we've learned that the security that has been so prevalent around this hotel has all of the sudden decided to leave. essentially, the government clashed with rifles and all of that have departed the hotel now and it's pretty empty in the lobby apart from a few security staff. rather a few hotel staff. apart from that, it's empty, which makes it a very kind of uncertain time. >> tripoli begins to fall and the journalists are free. days later, opposition fighters storm kadhafi's compound. >> these are cars that belong to the kadhafi regime. they are blowing off rounds on the top of them. i'm going to try not to get hit by any of those rounds. >> kadhafi is later found and killed. in 2011, the world also watches

a natural disaster unfold on live tv. the most powerful earthquake to hit japan causes a massive tsunami. and widespread destruction. this feels like it's the ground, but this isn't actually the ground. this is probably about 10 feet up off where the actual ground is. there's just so much debris, there's actually an entire van beneath me. >> more than 15,000 people are killed. >> when the earthquake happens, the elementary evacuated out of the school. they had no idea a tsunami was coming. out of 108 students, 77 are either dead or missing. that's 70% of the children at the school. >> the quake also causes a nuclear emergency after flood waters damage some of the country's largest nuclear reactors. the radiation league forces the evacuation of 200,000 people.

journalists retreat to tokyo, but continue to report. >> if you suddenly find yourself in an area with too much radiation, it will alarm. >> the country continues to rebuild. another story where journalists and the world watched history as it happened. there are different kinds of size mik events, of course, some begin when the earth shakes. it's the second kind that's happened all around the arab world. early on in egypt, home to the largest population in the arab world. we asked our reporters to spend a few minutes of what they remember covering those stories. here's what he had to say. >> 2011 has been a year of unrelenting news. but, here, in cairo, the biggest news came on the 25th of january when we were told there would be, yet, another demonstration against mobatic. we attended one and it went to the square but it was relatively small. we headed back to the office. i started actually to write a

script about that modest demonstration and then i got a phone call that there was tear gas being fired in to the square. so we went down to the street, jumped in a taxi, started to go there. but we went over -- or rather under what's known as the 6 october bridge. and i looked behind me and i saw thousands and thousands of students coming down the bridge shouting down, down with the regime and heading to the square. when i saw that, i realized this regime is going down. >> what was it about what was happening on that bridge that made you realize, okay, this is really it? >> it was the sheer number of people. i've seen demonstrations for years in cairo. but it was always a handful. maybe a hundred. maybe two hundred. the bridge was full. we're talking thousands and

thousands of people. i think what became apparent that day was that the regime was out numbered by the people. and i think that realization spread so quickly that three days later, basically, the regime gave up and handed over the country to the army. >> people were dying on the bridge. you were beat up and pushed around a little bit, weren't you? >> that was on the 28th. well, actually, in cairo, you get shoved around quite a lot by the security forces. and this goes back more specifically. but, yeah, on the 28th, we were filming. and this was clearly the day when it was all going to come down and sort of with finality. and we were with tommy evans and mary rogers. and we were basically suddenly surrounded by plain-clothed policemen and, basically, hired thugs. and they looked like they were under the influence of some kind of narcotics. and they were insisting on taking away the camera. and, you know, i said no because we had great footage of some incredible scenes.

and what ensued was a very long, pushing and shoving match in which eventually, they just cracked the camera. the view finder right off and took it away. i went back to argue with the superior officer. >> you're fluent in arabic? >> yes, and i was using words i wouldn't use in polite company. and i argued with this guy for quite some time. but, you know, we lost. we lost our camera. we holost the footage. got a bit roughed up, but it got me going. >> right. i remember that. i got there days later, but, for me, that was probably the most remarkable reporting experience swrus to witness it. to be there. what about you guys? you, ivan, were trapped in the square in kind of a run-down hotel during some of the worst of the violence. we were all very worried about you. you were on the other side. sfwl that was the famous day of the battle of the camel where we

all saw scenes i thought we'd never see before. first this rock fight breaks out. i the you got attacked on that day. we were all getting pushed around. we were caught, my camera man and i were caught in the middle of this horrendous rock fight and basically ran to the commander in our hotel just kind of fleet hotel, the door was chained shut. so we managed to skeez skeez in, got to the roof and suddenly these camels started charging into the square and beating up the demonstrators. and then riders were ripped off. we were stuck in that hotel as it was encircled by the thugs. and we didn't know we'd get out that night. >> we didn't think the demonstrators could hold out against the regime. and they did, for days. and they won in the end.

skbl what i find fascinating, this battle of the camels was seen from so many different perspectives. i was right will when the camels came in. i was kind of sort of badly taking blackberry pictures. but it just -- it just similar bombizes the historical nature. >> all of the sudden, this epic, bizarre, surreal camel charge? and i think that was the moment when many egyptians realize the regime was bankrupt. i had no idea how to deal with it other than to pay a bunch of camel drivers. >> when you resort to the camel drivers, it's over at that point. but because of technology and because of the resources, frankly, of cnn, you're able to be in the midst of stories in a way in broadcast live during them during a way that we've never been able to do that bf. and we saw that where you were in the square broadcasting live.

i remember being on the balcony with you of the hotel looking at it and getting laser sighted by peechl in the area where the thugs were. and we didn't know if it's a laser sight of the rief. >> well, we were surrounded. we were completely undersiege. you could not, at that point, leave the hotel without getting beaten up. we named it the beat a journalist day because so many people were getting snacked around. there was something so raw and visceral against those that were anti-us. hating us. labeling us as spies. >> we want to continue the conversation about egypt when we come back. also, what's happening in egypt right now. we'll also look at what happens after a dictator falls, the struggles with the military. blarng blank. >> this year, the square has been the scene of ined krbl drama, the sensational images of the famous patle of the camel. people fighting each other with

clubs and sticks. making weapons and shields out of the most basic tools. but it has also become a symbol behind me of a struggle for freedom. a struggle for dignity in the arab world. first, in january and february, as egyptians gathered and said no to the dicktorial machine. and then, once again, 9, 10 months later as they galterred again. no military council here. i predict we'll see more drama here again as they continue to see this square as a sign and symbol of their struggle for freedom. as well as a $500 dentist treatment. the secret's in the strip. crest 3d white professional effects whitestrips. life opens up when you do.

it's almost like wishing family well when you know a country intimately in the way that i feel like i've grown to know egypt. >> the transformation in egypt. i spent time there at the height of the uprising. but fellow colleagues had the opportunity to see every chapter before and after since. you live in cairo. so at the same time all of this was happening, you're concerned about your family and their well being? >> no, i was completely split. ripped in two. on the one hand, i wanted to cover the revolution. but on the other hand, my neighborhood became an armed camp. they pulled out weapons i didn't know they had, shotguns, machine guns, samurai swords. and even my 17-year-old son was out there every night with a baseball bat and our german shepherd joining the patrol

because we live in a very nice neighborhood surrounded by slums next to egypt's largest prison. >> i'll never forget broadcasting with you, we had snuck from the hotel to the bureau because tlt have a better satellite feed. and moments before we went on the air, the security guy saw some people coming up through the back ally. the bureau is completely open. anyone can get into the building. that's when we decided to turn off all of the lights, get down on the floor and the security guard slammed the couch in front of the door and we went ahead with the broadcast on the floor. that, for me, was one of the most intense moments. >> surreal. >> absolutely. surreal. did you ever expect to be seeing the things that you are now seeing? >> never. ababsolutely not. not across the whole of north america. and i think this is the beginning. we're looking forward to next year. but as we all know that what

happens after revolutions, the countries go through con vegss and contortions. >> syria is an event, in a way, in which we're still waiting to happen. but that will not have an an effect. to be sort of watching the middle east completely and utterly changed, who would imagine that? >> you had recently coming out with a report saying that you think there's already been civil war. i want to show some of what aura had with her experience. >> i was hiding in the back of a white van with two activists who were absolutely ter fid. and they were taking me through the suburbs to link up with a young doctor who had set up a secret under ground clinic. they were taking these incredible risk because they wants us to see some of their patients. people who had gunshot wounds

that weren't able to go to hospitals and a young boy, a teenager, the doctor didn't have the medal equipment to be able to pull fi luns the skoech of his injuries. so this little boy was partially paralyzed from the waste down. the doctor was a young man. he said it was so difficult for him to have people die in his hands because he couldn't save them. >> for months, publicly, they've been saying they're investors. >> well, you're free to travel as long as you take a government minders with you. he's not there to prevent you from reporting, he's actually there to help you out. >> protect you against those elements who might want to do your harm. that was the narrative the whole time we were in syria. we're not keeping you from traveling around the country because we want to hide things from you. we're keeping you from traveling

around the coup tri because we want to protect you. >> but it was still better to be there with those restrictions than not to be there at all. we were able in the end to get sochl some of these stories. >> people come up to you and will slide pieces of paper into your hand. >> that's how we connected with some of the activists. they would slide -- very -- in this age of twitter and facebook, the most old fashioned way of communicating is how i got the best contact in syria, which was a young man, an engineering story who i'm still in touch with just to make sure he's okay, just rolled this tiny little piece of paper and said they're lying to you. call me. e-mail me. it was just -- it was amazing how they get around the controls. >> when you think about the risks that they're taking, they could die so easily. i mean, things that we can't even imagine. we hear some of the stories comicom

coming out of syria and it's so terrifying. these people are taking their risks all of the time. and someone would walk passed. >> do you get used the seeing the bravery? do you get used to seeing people kill nd the streets? >> no, never. >> peas people, the praif ri that we've seen, it makes you want to weep sometimes to to see these people who come out, they're at a funeral of their friend who was killed. and then the security forces starts shooting at the funeral procession. and they still keep chanting, you know, democracy or down with the regime when being fired on that way. >> even now, on my show, i talked to people in syria on the phone who insist on using their real names. they insist on it because they say they're no longer afraid and they want the government to know that they're not afraid. >> that's the biggest unifying factor, i think, i found through the whole region of people saying we lost our fear.

>> we're going to have much more ahead with our correspondents from libya, 2011 brought incredible change there. opposition forces took on kadhafi's military, ultimately won with the help of nato, david and goliath story. matthew chance became a prisoner along with other journalists. >> we've been living in fear for the past five days because we've been really, you know, being held against our will by these crazy gunmen. >> also ahead, the triple disaster that left more than 15,15 15,000 people dead in japan. ge. just to be able to wake up in the morning on your own. that's a big accomplishment to me. i don't know how much money i need. but i know that whatever i have that's what i'm going to live within. ♪

the unrest sweeping egypt had also reached libya. demonstrators demanded an end to kadhafi's rule. the blood bath had begun. the opposition would eventually gain a foothold and make a major advance. >> some journalists had just pulled out. others had been beaten up. but an amazing thing happened on our first day there. the government drivers took us where the rebels had control of the center of the city. amazingly, the government drivers just dropped us off and let us go where we wanted. so we walked down the road to where we could see a crowd of people gathered around a tank. and we thought this was the

government show us pro-kadhafi supporters. as i climbed up on a tank that these were rebels. and i started thinking okay, there's going to be a gun battle and we'd been brought in to witness it. the government had made a mistake, but right after that, they changed. the security kind of took over from the government officials. and within days, whenever we left the hotel by ourself without minders, we're being rounded up, sometimes at gunpoint and forcibly taken bast to the hotel. so those first few days, a tiny bit of freedom and then the government clamped down on us. >> nick, what was it like in tripoli in those early days. >> i think they brought us in and the intelligence got hold of the idea that we were renegades because we were heading off to parts of the city they didn't

want us to go to. and then they just clamped down on us. and the access dried up. >> benny, you were the first western journalist to enter through the east of libya in opposition-helded terterritory. i'll never forget those videos of you getting there. it's just like this extraordinary jubilation. >> and our first 48 hours in libya was really nerve racking because everybody was full of this energy that had been pent up, frustration, anger. it was certainly coming out. and they were happy to see you. but they were so excited that finally they were free. you couldn't have a normal conversation. people were just shouting. but i mean it was thrilling in a different way from egypt.

>> during the final fall of tripoli, matthew and sarah, i think everybody was riveted to both of you. matthew, you were trapped in this hotel. i just want to show some of what you have to say about it. >> i thought the pivotal moment was the situation i got myself into. or found myself in in the hotel. we weren't really permit today go outside. afterwar afterwards, it was amazing because i was personally relieved as well as all of the other journalists. and, you know, i went out of the hotel. within a few minutes -- i went to a live location of cnn in tripoli. and i was surrounded by these crowds of people. and they were celebrating the liberation of their country. and they were firing guns in the air. they were giving me flowers.

it's an amazing electricity about the place. abds you know, i felt part of that as well because i was also free after a period of being incarcerated. so it was an amazing moment. it's rare rortserred end up talking about things that have already happened. you're trying to make the story in a past. but that was the story that was unfolding. and you were trapped in the middle of it. what is that like? >> highly usual. it was also replarkble small little transformation that took place in our hotel. so pro-colonel-kadhafi. and then over the period of day, as they've went by. this transition and the gun mn inside the hotel started to realize that the world that's

outside the gates of the hotel, their country had changed beyond recognition. when they finally made that real shags, you know, the whole thing fell apart >>en till you've had it, it's hard to describe. what is that like? >> well, ne goernuations, which was carried out for 40 minutes. >> our big concern was this was going to be the last stand. that was our worst case scenario. so we're constantly assessing where our risks was, wondering, deciding what our next step was

going to be. and then we present that in the form of a negotiation. and, obviously, we have no idea rite up until the last minute or two, last five minutes maybe. and this was going to produce results. and they finally capitulate. they finally understood, you know, that holding us captive was a dead end game. they cried. they gave us their weapons. we took -- we took some of them with us in the evacuation because if we had left them there, we would have been killed. >> a lot more about libya ahead, the nation that's ending 2011 without the man who terrorized their country for deck katz. >> also ahead, a disaster that claimed more than 15,000 lives when japan raised new questions about the safety of nuclear power plants. bla from almost anywhere.

we made it to a neighborhood that was right next to the compound, the kadhafi's stronghold. and there was, you know, dozens and dozens of men holding their guns, celebrating, saying, you know, it's close, you know. it's about to be over. we're going to take this compound. and we're going to kick, you know, the kadhafi regime out of tripoli and we are going to crush the regime that has been so crushing to us and our families for more than 40 years. it was exhilarating. it was one of those days where you were, like, wow, this is hisly being made right here. i'm standing right here, august 23rd and tripoli is fall lg around me.

>> the fall of the largest city. this seemed to explode in 2011. people compare it to a fever or wave or a set of giant dominos that rests. sarah, the rest of our panel are back. all have seen history rewriten this year. being there, i mean, was that the most intense experience that you had found yourself in? you were reporting live throughout it all. >> it was. the second most was the mumbai attacks when i was right outside the taj hotel. there was a barrier, so to speak, with the walls of the hotel. there wasn't a barrier here. you were trying to decide minute by minute basis whether or not you and your crew were safe and whatever that meant in this scenario. and as people started going in to this compound, we couldn't obviously see with our own eyes. we were just next door. and we could hear. and the moment we saw them open up some of these fielts and the

names on the files, the children of kadhafi, we were like where could they have gotten those? we're saying from inside, from inside, we're swimming in the pools. that was a fascination. everyone was so happy to be swimming in the pools. and we thought okay, they're in. it seems they're in. so it was a scenario where we went a little bit forward trying to decide. and finally we got to the walls of the outside of the compound. i mean, it looked like armageddon in there for a second. aened then, the guy ins there, they were standing outside and they said who, who, who? and they said cnn? oh, they just let us walk right in. and everyone was rushing in and then rushing out. and i kept thinking what the hell is going on? are people being shot at inside the compound still? or are people just excited they're going back and forth. people were bringing guns out. they were bringing anything they koulgd get their hands on and

tell uses the tea is still hot. there are still people in there fighting. you could see shoes, you could see all sorts of things. people had gotten up and gotten the hell out of there. >> it is a great moment when you're somewhere and they say cnn and they say oh, yes, okay. it's always nice. but, nick, you were in the hotel that extraordinary day when she came in screaming that she had been raped by kadhafi's forces. >> and the people who had been -- the government officials, the minders who had been escorting us through the dirv different places around tripoli were suddenly pulling guns out of trouser belts and literally took our camera and intentionally broke it in pieces and threw it on the floor. >> and one of the waitresses -- >> through a bag or a sheet over the head and then these government thugs just took her away and the journalists are

trying to stop them taking her away from the hotel. >> are are you going with her? >> i mean, it was the brutality that the regime said wasn't happening unfolding in front of our very eyes by the guys who were pretending to be something else. >> for you, what is a good day in the field? what is a day that makes you feel, you know what, this was a good day. this was -- we're doing exactly what we were supposed to be doing. >> you know, when you feel like you actually do have this fundamental sense of purpose and you're feeling these human emotions. especially with everything that's happening in the middle east right now. i don't think despite the fact that we've been covering it, we understand what it means for the people going through. what it means for the libyans that have been through so much under kadhafi to finally not have that anymore. and each and all of these other places, they two through things that we can't even imagine. it's our worst nightmares and

they're living it. >> we're a window for our audiencement as big as we can open that window, it's a great feeling when you open that window and you know that you can show some of that story to the world. but what is an amazing story when you feel that the world actually cares. and it's looking in through that window. and then you feel like you've done your job. >> sometimes you feel like a you're talking to a wind tunnel. that you're telling the stories and it doesn't have any impact. but when dough do feel that impact, it is extraordinary. >> if anything, we've slowed down to reflect on this year. when you reflect now, it's reminding us, we were just talking about it, it's powerful to watch it. >> well, i think a lot of you don't realize is that we don't actually see a lot of the reports when you're overseas and you're filing this stuff and you've got to go out to another

demonstration, you don't actually end up seeing a lot of this stuff. it was swresing interesting just to watch you all watch these pieces. >> and we were all so much young r at the beginning. >> we're going to have much more ahead. the other story of 2011, japan's earthquake and the tsunami. more than 15,000 lives lost. for their survivors, there are still radiation concerns. we'll share their insights on the disaster.

our look at the biggest stories from 2011 from our correspondents who covered the stories firsthand. i want to look at the earthquake that hit on march 11.

no one can forget the video of a 30 foot wave destroying cities in just minutes. seems like this played out all along. and here's what caused the most fear, the crippled nuclear power plant. officials eventually put the damage with a 1986 chernobyl disaster. if there is one story that will always be memorable to me from this year, it's covering the tsunami in japan. not those massive scenes of devastation, it's when i sat down with a young mer who was going over how many family members she had lost. and she started counting on her hand. and she ran out and she had to keep counting. she lost seven immediate family membe

members. and that's when it really struck home to me that this story was not about all the structures that were lost. it was about the lives of loved ones and these victims who would forever be impacted by it. >> and more than 15,000 people were killed. it was so extraordinary to be there and i was able to -- i had the pleasure of working with you a little bit. to be there not just for an earthquake and then a tsunami but also this radiation and fear, what worried you the most? >> because you didn't see it. you know, unlike the conflicts that we've seen around the world, you can't tell if the nuclear radiation is hitting your body. you don't know. and so that was the most alarming thing is ha we schismly didn't know. >> and you were 11 weeks preg nant.

>> yeah, i was pregnant at the time and i had a 2-year-old at home with my husband. but that was a big concern. how close can we get? how much should we push personal safety in order to get this story, this incredible story, which we all want to cover. and there was very little information coming from the government. incorrect information. and we now know that they drug their feet and did not tell the international community all the information that they had. >> everybody on this platform has covered natural disasters. what is the difference between covering -- i mean, emotionally, covering a natural disaster from covering the war? is it a different experience for you all? >> i found one earthquake. you become scenes of devastation. you're trying to cover the story. but you're so much involved in it. you don't have anywhere to

sleep. we're not sure where you're going to get your electricity from and you don't know where you food is going to come from. everything has collapsed. it's all on the ground lying around you. >> i don't think a lot of people realized, for us, the key when reporting on a disaster, basically gasoline so you can broadcast. >> it's a leveller. >> yeah, this is the thing. one of the big, you know, obstacles of being in a natural disaster zone like an earthquake or a tsunami, the infrastructure has been so devastated, shlly. that you're in exactly the same boat as everybody else in the area. >> it is terrifying. you really don't have any sense of where it's okay to go. and there's not a lot of expertise that you really can rely on. and you suddenly find yourself making these where, ob, i think this place is okay.

we went from a story that was so filled with emotion and picture to a story that was exact 180 emotional opposite. the japanese are very quiet. >> the thing that impressed me about all of you, and i've worked with all of you, is that you meet some people in the field, some correspondence who swagger and as if they've seen it all and done it all. i think those people have no business being in the field in those places because i think unless you are affected by it. unless jou see it as a human being as well as a reporter, you don't do as well of a job. i've seen each of you be overwhelmed. how do you come back from that and then go back out again? >> it's the worst is the feeling

of helplessness. if you're watching some child die or some family that have lost their home or whatever, i mean, you can try to be empathetic. you can try to explain their story to the world. but there's little you can do. you can give them a bottle of water. you can give them a gra know la bar. >> you can feel their suffering. nick made a joke we all look older than we did a year ago. and i think everybody feels that way. >> do you feel like you carry the people you have met? >> sometimes. i've experienced on several locations, i will sit on the plane on the way home is when you can stop home and not work. you're beginning to disconnect

and the tears will roll down my face and i can't stop it. i don't want to stop it. that's part of the release. i'm looking i walked in the front door. and i get on without it and i like running and that dispates it. so what to we go at it again? ultimately rk we believe it does make a difference. >> and you eve all had those moments? >> yeah, i have them. but susually, it will come a fe days later, a few weeks later. i've seen a youtube video with someone dragged to their head. and i think in my mind, i'll think god help that country. you know, i hope these people are okay. >> i find it life affirming. you know, this is so many dead people. you see the fragility of life.

and it just makes you appreciate your life. that's how i deal with it. you know? i sort of quick back after a terrible story like that and i don't think anything loo that. >> you asked the difference between conflict and the natural disasters. on an emotional level, there's somebody that you can need it. there's some tyrannical figure like omawr kadhafi. but when it's that natural disaster. it's that physical injury every of god we're rally see a gift. it's a strange -- buns again, it's the feeling of heplessness.

how many people did i talk to? i talked to so many parents who lost all of their children. so what do you say to them? and the only thing we can do as journalists, is to tell their story. >> you know what, maybe keeps this saying is coming back to 1078 of these places later or on the way to the con vikts zone. they've started rebuilding and they're scarred. they're -- but they're in tablgt and they've muring on with their let. i think that's a great credit to the organization. we've got to take a quick break. we'll be right back. a 50% annu! so you earn 50% more cash. according to research, everybody likes more cash.
