Quoting: Anonymous Coward 960188It also sounds like bullshit, frankly. For one, even if the Navy was going to "take the situation into their own hands" and drop explosives down there, they would have waited until after the junk shot attempt tomorrow. And if the Navy was going to drop explosives down there, they would make sure to have plenty on hand to make sure the job was completed, including having a tactical nuke available if necessary. They would have had the Army Corp of Engineers analyze the situation ahead of time and be ready for the potential results of the explosion. Exploding and collapsing this well is what SHOULD have been done on day 2. |
BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 381742 United States 05/24/2010 12:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Awful News From The Gulf: Explosions Collapse Seafloor At Deepwater Horizon Well Head Quoting: Anonymous Coward 299322[link to seminal.firedoglake.com] A series of explosions appears to have collapsed the seafloor and blown up the BOP at the well head. Oil and gas are billowing out of a depression in the seafloor where the BOP used to be at an exponentially greater rate than anything seen before. My theory: The well consisted of the casing with the drill pipe inside it. The sand and rocks that turned the gusher into a giant sandblaster that blew out holes in the riser pipe at the kinks was coming from the walls of the well that the cement between the casing and the wall was supposed to protect. Therefore, the hole has been getting bigger and bigger and now it’s like a volcano vent with the piping inside it probably a twisted mess. The relief wells ca an explosion that causes the sea floor to collapse would be caught on seismographs and would cause a small tsunami...both of which never occurred. It wouldn't cause any tsunami, you idiot, jesus! Jesus is not an idiot! Moran... Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |
redpill2010 User ID: 469747 United States 05/24/2010 12:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Stopping a leak with a large explosion. I'm sorry, but how the fuck does that make any logical sense? Quoting: Just SpeakWhether you think it makes sense or not is irrelevant. It is effective, and has been done numerous times by the Russians to stop this very thing from occurring. It is not easy to plug a gusher at the bottom of the ocean. You need to recognize that from the start, accept that you're going to lose the well, and collapse it with explosives. Instead BP has been fucking around because they want to preserve the well, because they know they won't get approval to drill another one any time soon. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 977366 United States 05/24/2010 01:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Fox News and the supposed Naval explosion. It's possible they are planning this and have prepared the news story in advance, you know, the story line they want us to believe. Now, why would the US Navy take the blame for a huge increase in oil flow form the hole if it's not the case? To protect BP? To prevent folks from knowing the truth? What truth could be worse than this fiction they're trying to force on us? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 975152 United States 05/24/2010 01:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It was just reported on Fox News (Fox and Friends) a few minutes ago that the navy had taken things into their own hands and tried to stop the leak with a large (and non-nuclear) explosion. But things have gone bad and the hole is a lot bigger now and the oil flow has gotten much worse. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 968544Sheesh ... if the US Military takes it over then we are DOOMED FOR SURE!! What in the heck does the US Navy know about oil wells and drilling? Sort of like asking your roofer to fix your computer with his hammner. Somebody probably fed FOX a line of BS and somehow it started to be read on the air. Sort like asking NASA to do deep core drillin' huh? I've seen this flick! |

PHILLLYDUDE User ID: 936493 United States 05/24/2010 01:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I realize that the ROV has lights, and with out them it should really dark down there at 5000 feet. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 977366Shouldn't there be shadows from the "arm" to the ground or pipes? I really don't see shadowing that is associated with bright spot or flood lights? It's rather like the video is coming from a depth that is much shallower and has sunlight. (Might be different at night I suppose) Comments? Yes, I thought the same thing. Was lit up down there in the vid yesterday and I wondered how the sunlight was able to pass through those depths. The light was highly dispersed, unlike spotlights would be, and seems to vary from moment to moment, day to day. It's too weird and nonsensical to be a fully factual video but then I look at the gusher and wonder if it's even worse than this? It literally makes me nauseous. But that could be the bag of jalopeno chips I ate for dinner last night. Ugh. YUP!! Thread: are we seeing the real oil leak?? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 667548 United States 05/24/2010 01:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's more information, not sure how credible it is, but I found it last night: Quoting: Fool 902341[link to monkeyfister.blogspot.com] Sunday, May 23, 2010 Major Change Down Below... Live Blogging... UPDATE 5:45pm CDT: A brand new MAJOR eruption is happening. tune into the SpillCam at BP.com . It's black, all you can see is a cable. It started with yet another GUSH plume/tornado. Oh, dear-- now, we can see that that is a LOT of oil-- and a BLIZZARD of Hydrates.. UPDATE 6:03pm CDT: The current eruption is way, way worse than the several that occured earlier. I think this might be a "Main Event" situation. UPDATE 6:45pm CDT: An hour after the start of this most recent eruption, and it is still just a wall of oil, methane crystals, and gack. WAY, WAAAY worse than the first event. UPDATE 7:35pmCDT: Live feed of recent blowout froze-up, requiring a reload of page. All of a sudden-- no more black chaos-- just the current clear-water gusher view. I suspect loop tape, but I have the screen grabs from the entire day, below. If there is another delay in the "Top-Kill/Junk Shot," you'll know why. Grab of the last moment before feed cut-out, below. You can dimly make out the lights of the lighting rig, lower center of pic image (click for BIG): ---------------- [link to monkeyfister.blogspot.com] It goes on... Several at GLP posted the same, I believe this happened. But they won't be able to cover this for too long. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 980037 United Kingdom 05/24/2010 01:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wasn't this deemed a National Security Issue by El Presidente? If thats the case then ANY activity by BP, the Navy or Superman would not be televised or even commented on in mainstream media. That would explain the Fox reporter STFU moment(if factual). In the meantime, doesn't look like anyone has a clue as to how to stop this effectively... God help us... Quoting: G 13730A better explanation is that it's bullshit. |
