FYI...The Louisiana fault lines generally run in an east - west direction along the bottom half of the state! Things could be taking the path of the least resistance!

So according to that report other areas are feeling tremors ?

According to the report this is approx. 3 miles to the west of the sinkhole.

Human rights defender Senator Fred Mills believes that Assumption Parish’s salt dome sinkhole appears to becoming another ongoing manmade Lake Peigneur catastrophe, a government supported oil and gas industry genocide through poisoned water, according to his interview Sunday by Deborah Dupré. Mysterious gas bubbles plaguing Bayou Corne sinkhole area are also increasing at Lake Peigneur, 80 miles west of the sinkhole, say Mills and his constituents.

Re: HUGE Louisiana sinkhole! PART 2
What are the odds of a movie like this being made over a decade ago becoming relevant today.


On Hostile Ground is a 2000 television movie starring John Corbett. Directed by Mario Azzopardi, the film originally aired on TBS on June 11, 2000.

Plot

Corbett stars as Matt Andrews, a geologist who is asked to investigate why there have been two large sinkholes affecting the city of New Orleans. Jessica Steen plays his girlfriend Allison Beauchamp, assistant to the Mayor, who has to decide whether the problems with the sinkholes will spread far enough to require that the remainder of Mardi Gras be cancelled, which would be an economic disaster to the city.

Matt has a number of personal issues because of a disaster which happened at a mine he was advising on its operations. Although cleared of responsibility for the accident, he still blames himself, which may be causing him to be overcautious. Matt admits the potential problem of the sinkholes becoming so serious as to endanger the city could occur next week, or not for three hundred years. Based on the lack of real evidence of immediate danger, and because some evidence that she should have received has been destroyed by the mayor's political flack, Allison has decided not to close the festival, only to have the disaster metastasize, like a cancer devouring the city's underground.

The only answer is to obtain a binary liquid which when combined produces an aggressive foam that will fill the huge sinkhole cavern. The foam will expand to hundreds of times its size, and becomes as hard as concrete. Due to an emergency, while Matt is underground inspecting the caverns, he becomes partially trapped, and has to ask to have the foam started (which will kill him if he can't find an escape) because if they don't start the flow of the liquid immediately, the ground underneath downtown New Orleans will collapse similar to the effects of soil liquefaction and thousands to tens of thousands of people will be injured or killed. The last few minutes of the film become a race against time as Matt attempts to find an exit before the foam overwhelms him.

The film points to an event that would happen five years after the movie was made. Matt points out the sinkholes, if they do fail and open up, could be as serious a disaster to the city as if its levees collapsed, an event that did happen as a result of Hurricane Katrin

Re: HUGE Louisiana sinkhole! PART 2
Not sure people understand the reality of what is taking place. See this drawing to get an Idea of what could happen soon. The sink hole is a drop in the bucket compared to the Salt dome that it sits on the edge of. The swirling water in the sink hole would suggest that it is draining, the logical place its going is into the Salt dome which will weaken the dome further because the water entering is fresh water which eats away at the salt.

 Quoting: seeker2


Here is APs fly over from this morning:



I see no whirlpools, and haven't seen whirlpools on any of their videos. I did see some bubbling on one.

The fluids in the sinkhole are NOT draining in to the cavern. The cavern is staying pressurized from oil and gas going in to it, and that oil and gas is having to be flared off to keep a PSI of around 900.

See the report of Sep 25th aqnd 26th, where it was at 1000 PSI before flaring. Water from the sinkhole will not overcome that pressure, and in fact, from what I understand, they want to maintain some pressure to prevent that.

Re: HUGE Louisiana sinkhole! PART 2
We have a partially hollowed out salt dome with unknown crap in it.

The sinkhole is off to the side.

Questions:

Is there communication via fissure from the cavern to the sinkhole?

What is in the cavern?

What is in the sinkhole?

Are they connected?

Where are the bubbles coming from?

What are the bubbles?

What is causing pressurisation in the cavern?

In short, there is more we don't know than we do know.

Re: HUGE Louisiana sinkhole! PART 2
Wednesday, some people in the Gulf parishes reported hearing a loud noise similar to thunder accompanying the quakes.

“My wife described it as sounding like a garbage truck had just dropped a dumpster,” Comardelle said.

“It was clear outside, and then we felt more tremors,” Comardelle said, having joined neighbors outside looking for signs of what was causing the jolts.

Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with USGS, said the earth’s crust is riddled with fault lines, and people often report hearing such a loud noise when they are near the epicenter of a quake.

Boudreaux said that the National Guard reported having no fly-overs that could have caused sonic booms. He called multiple oil-field facilities, but none had an explanation.

Mysterious tremors 45 miles from sinkhole
Parts of Louisiana's Gulf coast Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, approximately 45 miles from the giant Assumption Parish sinkhole in the Bayou Corne area of a breached Napoleonville Salt Dome cavern, shook Wednesday, causing offices of officials to be flooded with telephone calls from frightened residents.

A little before 2 p.m. Wednesday, reports began flooding officials' offices about tremors with loud thunder noises some 45 miles from Louisiana's giant sinkhole and about 140 miles northwest of the BP-wrecked Macondo Prospect oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. Even residents in brick houses were rattled by the quakes.
