HUGE Louisiana sinkhole!!!!

Just go to first post and press the pin button if you want it red pinned.

Nice accent. Basically right.

55 feet of water is a lot of fucking weight that is Not pressing down, as usual.

I guess they had to make room for GMO fried fast food sandwich threads.

Damn.

If there are cracks, water is heavier than gas, it would seep through the cracks and force the gas out of the cracks. Gas goes up, water goes down. I remember hearing of the possibility of the Gulf losing water because of cracks and caverns under the gulf floor (after the oil spill).

for the night crew!

There's an 11 page thread pinned on how a male putting a skirt on hands the entire world over to satan.

You've got to lol sometimes.

Must have been a shift change for the mods!

This is to huge to be buried. Is Mother Earth getting ready to kick our a$$es for all the harm we have caused. What I find interesting is the people allegedly from the area that have come on this topic. The "locals" don't seemed to be worried and are even offensive that we are caring about the situation. I am not gloom & doom, I want to approach this realistically. This situation is huge and only we can keep it from being buried.

They've probably been through enough hurricane evacuations down there to be sick of any kind of evacuation by now. I've been in evacuations myself a few times. After the second one you start highly considering just weathering out the storm at home.

This should have super pin!!

shhhh.


super pin = super trolls

Today, the Commissioner of Conservation amended the Emergency Declaration dated August 3, issued to Texas Brine Company LLC regarding its salt cavern, requiring these immediate actions:

o Expeditiously drill a well to investigate the salt cavern and to further evaluate potential causes of the subsidence near its well site

o Obtain samples of any cavern content

o Provide daily reports on the progress of the activity

Commissioner Welsh said, “Texas Brine has been ordered to implement these steps as soon as possible and move full-steam ahead. There will also be continual communication with the public on their actions.” Welsh said all information flowing to the department will be posted to keep the public completely informed.

Officials covered up for over a year problems with injected radioactive materials.

Police Jury issued the following statement at 9:15 this morning: "Based on recent revelations that NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) was injected into the cavern, the parish has requested DEQ to immediately begin monitoring the atmosphere and sinkhole for NORM. The OEP has also requested that previously pulled samples be tested for NORM as well.

Additionally, if you observe any abnormal activity such as bubbling, sinking, holes, etc… you can report this to OEP on the form that is linked below or by visiting the command post in Bayou Corne and filling a form out. The OEP will be forwarding all abnormal activity to DNR & DEQ immediately

is one of the comments

WHY did this get unpinned!!??

NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) is such a crock of shite. It may occur in nature, but industrialists have extracted it, concentrated it and injected it into salt domes of dubious structural integrity. They made it, and it's bad.

so the last time this happened an entire lake was sucked down along with barges?

what will this one suck down?
or is it more likely to explode?

seems if it was going to suck stuff down it would have? the lake was sucked in pretty fast and this one seems to be expanding instead? does that indicate pressure building and explosive potential?

what is going to happen here? will it stay localized? or, will it explode and ignite pipelines? what's the most likely outcome to this? anyone have any idea? or will we simply not know until whatever happens happens and are just guessing?

I want a video of it blowing up! light a firecracker on a open palm, it just burns your palm, ball up your hand with a firecracker inside and your hand blows up. This is what's going to happen... Could be tons of dirt falling for miles.

Thank GOD

Finally some seperation between the REAL COAST and commiefornia.
