Thread: Sinkhole Doom...FOUR Siren Sinkhole Alert .....New York,Philadelphia,Baltimore past 3 days! The articles are now beginning to get scrubbed from the web... local sinkhole articles from baltimore that were able to be viewed online as early as this morning are now gone. In a nutshell...major cities are having the ground literally collapse under neath of houses, business, buildings,bridges,people,etc I am starting to get the feeling that there is no waking up the sheeple and those who can see exactly where things are headed may soon have to decide to run and try and save themselves by seeking out more stable ground... or go down with the ship...because the ship has sprung enough leaks, and it is assuredly going down ![]() Jedi Warriors...may the Force be with you...we are all going to need it |

Risks include the sinkhole growing, with potential impact to area pipelines, natural gas wells, and salt dome caverns used for gas storage. For weeks, scientists have been investigating mysterious tremors and bubbles rising to the surface of Bayou Corne. Now a sinkhole has engulfed trees and created a several hundred foot wide area of muddy water and soil. Officials determined that the potential failure of an inactive salt mining cavern is likely the cause of the sinkhole and bubbling. Hasn't Louisiana suffered more than its share of man-made disasters? Its waters serve as an explosives dumping grounds. An oil engineering error drained Lake Peigneur in 1980, sucking 65 acres of land and structures into a salt mine. BP, Halliburton and Transocean's 2010 drilling disaster horrified the world, killing and disrupting people, animals, ecosystems, continuing to contaminate food supplies. Its coast is littered with abandoned oil wells. And the ever more extreme weather associated with man-made climate change threatens businesses and homes each hurricane season.

An increase in volcanic activity leads to more sulfure in the atmosphere and hence more acid rain. Acid rain dissolves limestone, hence an increase in acid rain equals an increase in sink hole formation. |
