HUGE Louisiana sinkhole! PART 2

At the very least, the dead, white trees suggest that something in the groundwater is killing them. I suspect its methane.

Have not listened to this whole segment yet but did find the summary interesting. Goto the youtube link and click on "show more" right below the video before the comments section!

Here is an article I posted recently on another thread that seems to be related with the info from the above radio broadcast.


The sites for scale-up activities will be determined at a later date.

Algae can be grown using land and water unsuitable for crop plant or food production, unlike some other first and second generation biofuel feedstocks.

Bio-oil produced by photosynthetic algae and the resultant biofuel will have molecular structures that are similar to the petroleum and refined products we use today. This helps ensure the fuels are compatible with existing transportation technology and infrastructure.

Emergency leaders in Assumption Parish said they saw improvements at the Bayou Corne sinkhole site Friday afternoon in terms of crude-soaked vegetation, but admit there is still no solution or cause of the disaster.

Sinkhole site video from today!

Sinkhole 52,000 gallons mystery crude oil collected, shocking growth exposed

By Friday, over 52,000 gallons of crude oil have been collected out of the Louisiana sinkhole according to officials fingerprinting the crude, but they have yet to identify the source of it or how to stop what a citizen reporter's in-depth video exposes as a rapidly expanding, out-of-control, ecological disaster unfolding in Bayou Corne and beyond.

Assumption Parish Officials stated Friday in a new report that, according to the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, Texas Brine LLC. has "collected a total of 1242 bbls (cumulative total as of 18 October, 2012) hydrocarbons from well during flow back operations prior to production of brine water."

The sinkhole is now the size of five football fields and the ground is breaking up in nearby areas. It continues threatening to become another Lake Peigneur catastrophe.

All the tress are dead. How large is the dead tree line? How much further out is the water/oil/gas underground?

New gap developing far from sinkhole? Officials appear focused on area in most of today’s hi-res images!

It seems that the sinkhole is starting to make its big push into the Butane caverns next...time to buckle up people. Looks like it could triple or more in size very soon! This ride is about to get very bumpy according to those pics!

Sinkhole Geologist: The outer edge of the salt dome, best we can tell it’s gone… at the location of the cavern

Thanks for the updates. This sounds worse by the day.

“There is no cookbook," Dr Gary Hecox, Geologist for The Shaw Environmental Group, stated matter-of-factly. "There’s not even any decent case studies for people to proceed when you’ve had a cavern collapse 5,000 feet below ground." Statement to evacuees at community briefing held on Tuesday, October 23.

If this is true, then clearly using these salt domes as storage facilities hasn’t been fully thought through. Where are the risk assessments for this kind of industrial accident? If one was even completed, it was insufficient for not planning for this very contingency and providing a Master Operating Plan to the State of Louisiana for addressing such a situation. Are we expected to believe that in that Swiss cheese patchwork of petroleum formations this kind of thing might never happen? Oh, wait, it already did, in 1980 in Lake Peigneur…too bad a cookbook wasn’t written then.

True, we now realize that these salt domes never should have been used for anything. SHould not have disturbed them. Mother Nature made salt domes for a purpose of her own, and we have destroyed them.

I 5-starred you. I've been following since the first thread you made. I think you had the first one pinned. There's probably a lot of us that drop by daily for the update and we appreciate the effort.

Got to this video it shows it better

move the nuclear powered subterrene's on up under the Mississippi river we need that causeway to develop...no worries citizens,were causing the collapse in steps...

Methodical is the name of the game.

correction, when i say up i mean northward under the Mississippi river,dont proceed to the surface...

unfortunately, you are probably close to accurate

naaaaaaaa,I'm just role playing

Tuesday, around 4:45, the parish announced 1,600 square feet of land fell into the sinkhole. Wednesday, the officials raised their estimate of the land loss to almost as much as 30,000 square feet.

John Boudreaux, director of Assumption Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said the calculations Wednesday comparing before and after maps showed the collapsed area extends 300 feet along the sinkhole’s bank and 75 to 100 feet inland on the eastern rim.
