SINKHOLE DOOM: Salt Dome Failure has been CONFIRMED!

for DOOM

"It has come to our attention that Texas Brine’s press release was released to the media at 10:31 p.m. last night, prior to consulting with parish and state officials."

Keyword here is PRIOR to consulting with officials.. In other words, they are pissed off that they couldn't tweak the news. Or, they are implying that Texas Brine already had agreed to have all press releases verified/approved by certain "officials" before public release.

So is it going to blow up the butane deposit now?

So here's the lowdown, as of recently.

- The cavern has caved in from the inside, but no words on what this actually means. My firstthought is 'permanent'.

- Officials haven't been able to identify the source of the bubbling natural gas in the area

- They haven't been able to provide answers to certain test results, nor provide results of the natural gas seepage samples

- Flyovers are shoddy, lower altitude than they previously were in attempt to hide the expansion. Size/growth measurements are downplayed majorly. This is evident by viewing early videos in comparison to recent ones. View them all HERE >>> [link to www.youtube.com]



I'm wondering if this is a no-fly zone but I haven't been able to find any information.

This thing has gotten HUGE! This news is NOT good at all. Very worried about all of this...When you look at the video, you can see it just growing.

It seems like there's far too much gas being released to actually be coming from the well. I think it's earthquake type shit, inner earth gas from very deep, like an uncontrolled source.

and someone pin, please. I always pin good threads.

This is serious, I'm eager to see what the analysis of the cavern failure is. I'm also dying to hear how they plan to resolve it, especially since a resolution was a huge part of their plan.

Check this out, it's important, it's from about 8 days ago.

Assumption Parish Situation Summary >>> [link to www.edsuite.com]

LONG TERM PLANS (from page 21 of the .pdf link above)

DNR:
–Texas Brine conducts drilling of well in accordance with order
–Scientific Group conference calls/meetings will be scheduled weekly to review new data and issues that arise
–Continue source investigation and file review
–Evaluate results of monitoring data and take necessary action
–Monitor drilling operations of investigatory well 24/7
–Staff on standby to assist incident commander
–Total remediation of the entire site
–LSU to perform a seismic noise test on the Dugas-LeBlanc property
–Continue to pursue landowner access agreements
–Implement Shaw Group’s Plan of Action

DEQ:
–Continue to conduct sampling on air and water in area of operation
–Monitor drilling operations of investigatory well 24/7 including assistance with EPA START (Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team)
–Total remediation of the entire site
–Continue weekly sampling of industrial wells
–Identify Isotopic properties of gas collected from future vent well sites (this is a joint venture responsibility with DNR)

What’s at the bottom of the cavern? Radioactive material dumped in the cavern during the 1990s was “likely entombed at the bottom”

How much radioactive waste could be inside the cavern? US Gov't: EPA specifically allows radioactive waste to be dumped in salt caverns -- Exempted from hazardous waste requirements

How radioactive is the waste inside the cavern? Louisiana Sinkhole: Radioactive waste in cavern may have exceeded radiation limits -- Up to 20 cubic feet pumped inside

What’s the danger? Chemical Expert: Residents will be exposed to extremely dangerous alpha radiation coming from sinkhole -- Radioactive dust inhaled after carried by wind, surface water

What has testing detected to date? Sinkhole: Radioactivity at 5,900 picocuries per kilogram from uranium and thorium floating on surface, about double background -- "Much higher levels of radiation" down deeper -- Residents' frustration growing (VIDEO)

What about the people who had to leave their homes? Are they all still out? Any word on what they are suppose to do?

Nope, no word on that from what I can see. No solid answers, per usual..

Thank you.

This shit is pretty serious. If the cavern has failed, and it's salt, it will only continue to do so. Saltwater (brine) will slow the process but ultimately those walls WILL corrode completely and then what? WHy is there no mention of what seperates this cavern from the one containing butane, or any other neighboring wells? Is it rock, shale, clay, or just more salt??

if it's failed, why is it still level ground?

what's filling the hole? yes, I know it's water, but from where? Surely if a huge space like that cavern was breached that would fill up with water? Is it full of water? does anyone know?

any very recent pics of it too?

[link to www.bayoubuzz.com]

on that link they're using a pic from 7 weeks ago

why no recent pic? this is puzzling.

I dont give a damn about a stupid sink hole...

I dont care, about the salt cavern underneath it...

I just want to know.

WHEN, is all the Butane, going blow up and explode like a spectacular A Bomb?

The rest of the news about this Sink Hole? = a waste of reading time...

Oh my...this is getting worse by the day! How awful :(

have to wonder why louisiana is getting fucked over left and right

is it because someone doesn't like them, or is it that they have a culture of corruption and looking the other way that's catching up to them?

Thank you for keeping us updated, OP.

PEOPLE from that area you really should considering signing Dutchsinse's White House Petition for Federal Help:

Spread the word......

Well, whatever it is is underwater..so therefore if naturally made would most likely not be anything that could hold back radiation, or butane etc..its a disaster waiting to BLOW!

will the ground cave open, like houses and streets would all fall into the caverns? water would wash up above the ground? this sounds way too much for me

Matt Simmons was right all along wasn't he?!

nods head

tis really an oil volcanoe

Thread: Emergency Pin this up !


conspiracy forum covering up ? a conspiracy itself ?

No pin !

If it catastrophically fails like Lake Peigneur did 20 years ago, and there is access to the Bayou that connects to the Gulf...the water from the Gulf will flow into the collapsed cavern. There is a video on YT about what happened then. I don't know how deep the salt mine was then - but the drilling rig breached it at 1300 ft. This salt dome is 4,000 feet deep and I'm not enetirely sure it's completely full of anything. There's enough of a cavern to cause the sinkhole! Took 2 days for the Gulf to fill up the salt mine and the lake. Just think about the force of the water rushing upstream to fill everything in...and think about what that kind of water movement will do to wash out more of the salt. Maybe breach the other domes with the propane and butane?? All in all, a real nightmare!
