By October 3, 2010...If they cant stop this leak..... | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 923283  United States05/10/2010 01:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Shit! I'd hate to see what it would look like on Oct. 3rd. Id hate to see what they are hiding from us by applying dispersant at the leak 5000ft below... Can you imagine how much we arent even seeing? Yup, this is bad!  |

Quoting: JackassThe damn thing would corrode to pieces in no time at all anyway. I know you people are just playing up the doom thing, that is what this site is good at, but if you actually believe the stuff you are posting, please go seek help.  Maybe this guy should seek help too... And Obama 'Massive and potentially unprecedented disaster' And Ken Salazar Int Sec. - 'massive' and a potential catastrophe |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 942322The damn thing would corrode to pieces in no time at all anyway. Dont get me wrong, I agree... I just think nuke is 100% out of question here... I truly am getting a little worried the more rational thinking I am doing... The fact they have no other options other than "shooting garbage" into the pipe?? WTF, who the hell is running this show...Glad they thought of these things well before they fucked up... The absolute real possibilities of this are truly catastrophic, epic, worldwide doom... I appreciate your input believe me...I just see no other answer and am looking for input and hoping someone who has some power sees this. It wont take a big nuke...just a small one. But it has to be thermo or it wont get hot enough, long enough to create a plug. They have detonated ...umm hundreds out in Nevada at much shallower depths that released no radiation...however, many did. The risk is enormous....but I think they have the room in sheer rock depth to pull it off. The alternatives are futile and seem rather hopeless to me. If a hit blew the rig apart...another one will surely toss this bottlecap off like a fly. Am I grabbing at straws ...yes But Im fairly convinced that we can actually use a nuke in a useful way for once. |

It blew a mile wide crater at wetok...It was a surface detonation. Im suggesting a SMALL version in bedrock deep under the sea floor. Previous tunnel tests created caverns of only modest size. |

If that happens, oil will be the least of anyone's worries. Thats why this must be contained in a small area in the bedrock portion of the drill ... Just a qwik little boom...magma..hardens...plugged. It would probably blow the wellhead off and make lots of bubbles for a minute or two....then quickly end...hopefully sealed...self contained and unignited. The other end would push downward back into the oilfield with a good shot of pressure but sustainable methane ignition really isnt likely. |

Its going to hitch a ride out into the Atlantic. SO no, the gulf will not be covered. It'll look really bad and a long ass thread of oil miles wide would be working its way up the east coast. |

Heavier rock can carry the energy wave farther...possibly increasing EQs and eruptions fo several volcanoes threatening... they are not joking either... With the CME activity and some other geomagnetic anomalies...it is not a good idea, in fact, it is far more dangerous to everyone... ************************************ fortitudo et spes ************************************ When Japan happened I responded: "The Excrement Has Impacted the Rotary Oscillator." and clearly it has.

Yes it would and all sea life in the area and depending on type and size...sea life that is still alive would have even greater threats for DECADES the gulf will be ruined for seafood, estuaries, for many their livelihood...is no more Any shrimp, crab, or lobster will be badly contaminated(benzenes) and shellfish MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH POLLUTED WATERS... I will avoid gulf seafood for a long time now...and no shellfish should be eaten once the oil hits them... Pregnant women should avoid Tuna and limit seafood...if there is concern-as even before this more contaminants are being found. ************************************ fortitudo et spes ************************************ When Japan happened I responded: "The Excrement Has Impacted the Rotary Oscillator." and clearly it has.
