Cargan Grair started with WNGT in 1905when it was still NWGT.  But when he retired in 2005 he had seen more combat than any man alive on the face of the earth. 

Cargan’s first assignment as a reporter/watcher was to cover the Russo-Japanese War.  He transported to Manchuria in early March of 1905 to the Battle of Mukden where the Japanese were outmaneuvering the Russians to force General Kuropatkin to withdraw his forces on March 10 to the north.  This was a good indicator to the man that it looked like the Japanese had the upper hand in the war. 

The Battle of Tsushima in the Tsushima Straits from May 27 to 28 literally saznk the hopes of the Russians of ever winning the war as most of the fleet was sunk off of Japan.  The humiliating defeat set the stage for the ill-fated 1905 revolution against the Czar which culminated in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution; both covered by Cargan.   

The first time Cargan fully realized how safe he and his TV crew were in the adjacent dimension to this one was when a shell exploded where he stood and he found himself floating above the crater the shell produced since in his dimension he was on solid ground. 

He was able to watch the Battle of Tsushima in the midst of the straits about 300 feet above the sea.  This was a great vantage point.  The smoke from the ships’ stacks didn’t bother the crew since no one felt it or smelled it when it passed through them.  Since Cargan believed the Russian fleet was doomed, he and the crew decided to transport down to the deck of the Battleship Mikasa and stabilize close to this dimension yet feel like they were on the ship.  Sailors ran through the men and the explosions of powder in the big guns was nearly deafening.  But all the crew needed to do was block out most of the sound electronically. 

Cargan and the crew even reported on the peace treaty signing in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with Teddy Roosevelt preciding.  The Russians were embarrassed and the Japanese were so proud that they had defeated the great Russian Navy and gained respect in the eyes of the Czar.  Just not enough to force him to leave Saint Petersburg and attend the ceremonies.
