HUGE Louisiana sinkhole! PART 2

Yesterdays updated plan!

After stopping the drilling from hitting gas pockets, they are monitoring the air, etc., and they put The Shaw Group in charge of removing the natural gas from the aquifer. The drinking water that is polluted is in Bayou Lafourche.

The highway dept. is measuring location of nearby bridges to see if they MOVE and making up detour plans in case they need them.

The USGS says no seismic activity near the butane caverns. (p.14)

Page 15 lists scary theories for the cause of tremors including the idea that THE CAPROCK IS FALLING FROM THE TOP OF THE CAVERN! (p.15)

It seems that DNR has placed The Shaw group in charge of oversight and removal of the natural gas from the water.

Here is some info on Shaw...

"For example, as told by journalist Greg Palast in the documentary, Stone and Webster, now a subsidiary of the Shaw Group, was found guilty of racketeering and fraud for faking seismic data; fined $4 billion. Now the company is bringing on three new nuclear plants. The Shaw Group is a top donor to the Governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal."

"When such institutional crimes are allowed, disaster eventually comes. And it is still coming, loaded into the pipeline perhaps beyond our ability to survive it."

Shaw Announces Agreement to Be Acquired by CB&I

And now The Shaw Group is joining with Chicago Bridge & Iron...So, it looks like the Chicago boys are getting involved with this also!

What worries me is that all the trees are dying and they looked fine a month or so back!!!!!!!Something massive is going to happen and those poor folks that live there are not being told the whole truth.....look at the trees?!?!?

have you not figured out yet what SINKHOLES ARE,

for the umpteenth time, STOP WAITING FOR THE SO CALLED ATHORITIES TO TELL YOU, THEY WON'T

ITS A LAVA TUBE, ALL SINKHOLES ARE OLD LAVA TUBES, WITH THE EARTH VIBRATING AS IT IS, PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER,

THEY ARE BECOMING ACTIVE.

Just had to re watch the vid, your right they do not look to healthy at all.

Thanks for keeping ths thread going OP.

“We are concerned with the lack of transparency from our public officials on this emergency situation,” John Achee, Jr., a Bayou Corne community advocate, said. “There is no citizen representation on the incident command team or community liaison to help communicate real-time with both existing and displaced residents. Additionally, we have learned that an esteemed and well-regarded Louisiana scientist has been blocked access to the team meetings.”

Does anyone know who the blocked scientist might be?

Just in case any of the thread followers missed this one...

Thread: realise what sink holes are PIN THIS (Page 2)

After Unified Command officials refused a request from residents, some living only 2,000 feet from the sinkhole disaster, to attend their Emergency Town Hall Meeting, Assumption Parish officials contacted the media and other officials to urge them to shun the meeting, according to a local community advocate and organizer.

"Assumption Parish Officials are calling the media, officals, agencies and Texas Brine in an attempt to discourage them all from attending the the Town Hall Meeting [that] you have pleaded with them to attend and provide you an inperson update on this most dangerous, dynamic, fluid situation," Achee advised sinkhole vicinity residents Wednesday.

Per Texas Brine, drilling started at 7:35 this morning.

Eegads! Would they really keep drilling if they thought it would explode at any second? I wouldn't be anywhere near that sinkhole!

Morning Fly over!





We’ve received notification just minutes ago that the bit on the snubbing rig has to be changed. This will push back drilling operations 12-15 hours.

Grand Gulf Energy (ASX: GGE) and its partners are preparing to spud the Desiree prospect in Louisiana targeting 1 million barrels of oil in early October.

The Desiree well is updip from and just 270 feet away from the largest producer in the Napoleonville project, which produced 2.3 million barrels and was still producing 100 barrels per day when it was abandoned at low oil prices with split casing.
