Re: SINKHOLE DOOM: Salt Dome Failure has been CONFIRMED!
is this real?
No news coverage about this ever...... 1dunno1
 Quoting: Second Best


nope, not real. these people are making ALL of this up, just to show you how clever psy-op is. i mean if it were real it would be on the news. GLP'ers are crazy like that.

amazing, no?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19555500


GLPers get it on the fly. and sometimes we're right!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757

in all seriousness, though: at GLP you will get a good
rough sketch of what's happening. it's up to each individual,
himself, to flesh out the details and comfirm the facts.

their homes and let the damn salt dome collapse.

and if there's radioactive shit down there the more we can bury it the better.

so, after the dome collapses we can just pump in concrete until she tops off.

The surface of Louisiana is underlain by geologically young sedimentary sequences that
were deposited in or adjacent to rivers and deltas in a coastal-plain setting.
These deposits and those in other states flanking the Mississippi valley indicate that a major river system
corresponding to the Mississippi has persisted at least since the Gulf of Mexico began
to form by the separation of North America from South America.

In general, the entire suite of fluvial, deltaic, and coastal deposits has advanced farther into the Gulf through time, and continues now to fill it with sediment.
Evaporation of the shallow sea that was
the early Gulf of Mexico produced thick salt deposits, now deeply buried, from which
salt spines intrude the overlying strata and form near-surface domes.

Most surface exposures in Louisiana consist of Quaternary (Pleistocene and Holocene)
sediment. Holocene deposits, including alluvium of the Mississippi, Red, Ouachita, and
other rivers and smaller tributaries, and coastal marsh deposits, occupy about 55% of the surface.

The alluvium consists of sandy and gravelly channel deposits mantled by sandy to muddy natural levee deposits, with organic-rich muddy backswamp deposits in between; coastal marsh deposits are chiefly mud and organic matter. Approximately 20% of the state’s surface is occupied by Pleistocene terraces ; the deposits associated with them also consist of sand, gravel, and mud, but underlie raised, flat surfaces with varying degrees of tilt and dissection depending on their relative ages.

These surfaces are remnants of pre-existing flood plains, and form both trends along the major rivers
in north Louisiana and coast-parallel belts in southern Louisiana. They were raised as
the coastal plain tilted in response to downwarping of the crustal floor of the Gulf of Mexico—the result of the deposition of voluminous deltaic sediment ever farther into the Gulf through time.

i want to know more about this project to vent all the
natural gas in the cavern (and wherever it's coming from?)
into the atmosphere.

the last time i checked, natural gas is heavier than air.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757


[link to www.truenergy.com.au]

[snip]

Natural gas is lighter than air, and this fact enhances its safety. Unlike other fuels such as diesel, petrol or LPG, which are heavier than air, should a natural gas leak occur, the gas will readily dissipate into the atmosphere.
 Quoting: Waterbug


i stand corrected. after i posted that i had that
sinking feeling that i was wrong... i was hoping that
no one would notice :)

Its doing that strange curvy signal again...just a glitch in the machine?? [link to folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu]
 Quoting: taniatarn


those are all extremely small (low energy) tremors.
what's noteworthy is that there are any tremors at all.

i've seen those charts do all sorts of kakamaimee stuff,
but the seismologists know how to interpret it all. big
trucks driving near the sensing unit can make the chart
dance around (but the big black spikes are definitely very
very very small tremors)
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757


These are DEF NOT tremors...... this is NOT a tremor.... this is something like a wave, ripple, corrugation, undulation or whatever you wanna name it "technically"....

I really hope that there is somebody physically messing with the equipment/machinery as SUCH MOVEMENTS otherwise appears very difficult to explain.....

HOWEVER, these "waves/ripples" are not over a short period of seconds, but rather enduring MINUTES instead, so the opinion of somebody actually HANDLING/WORKING with such equipment would be HIGLY appreciated as otherwise we are just speculating
 Quoting: pray_Italy


Yes speculation drives me nuts too. This is what happens when scientists with answers are not permitted to speak and share what they know without professional and personal consequences.
That said, tons of earth are falling off the sides landing deep below, which to my addled mind is common sense this has to register on seisemographs.

BREAKING: New collapse, trees in, part of road in!!!!! 1,500 Sq. Ft GONE!!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24458863


no surprise there.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757


well, the helicorder is real time and up to the minute,
but it's not showing the collapse wtf
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757


there should have been blue ink spilled all over that chart.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757


Its not a few trees and mud sliding into the soup that triggers a seismic shock but if those recordings are caused by the collapse of the cavern it is large chunks of caprock and salt falling to the bottom of the cavern that cause the tremors.

well, excuuuuuse me. they look just like all the
charts you'll see at Jellystone (tremors and harmonic tremors)
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757


Hey, would you mind pointing me to some charts showing this?
Not saying they will be different, but if they would be similar then I would guess we could rapidly get some more insight about why these ripples show on THAT particular equipment. Just trying to help here....

The news of 9.00 am today are VERY bad IMO.... wonder when they will allow the chopper to flyover again....
 Quoting: pray_Italy

well, i just googled "yellowstone helicorder"

and here's the station map for all the recorders.
(note: click on the letters, not the red dot)

[link to www.quake.utah.edu]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24425757


TY, just watching some of them although I cannot spot anything similar yet to the ripples recorded......

The enenews/breaking news apparently talks about the 30x50' ALREADY reported earlier (just do the math) ;) and would appear NOT to be a second event
 Quoting: pray_Italy


You are correct. No second event, just reported on a different site.
