Anonymous Coward User ID: 24441910 Switzerland 10/02/2012 01:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seeing as diesel is made out of crude oil. I do not follow your confusion as to why diesel smells like oil Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24441910 I'm just confused because there have been so many different "things" oil butane radioactive material natural gas Ah ok. Well that's a different story. I'm also wondering why a sinkhole has radioactive isotopes. That's odd |

Anonymous Coward 10/02/2012 01:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “The disaster is made all the more worrisome because the hole is believed to be close to a well containing 1.5 million barrels of liquid butane, a highly volatile liquid that turns into a highly flammable vapor upon release,” CNN reported Friday about Louisiana's declared State of Emergency. Quoting: linkEarlier it was reported the butane-filled well is only 1500 feet from the sinkhole and it will not be emptied. |

No big deal.....what is their actual worry? |

It's not like the earth is cracking?? I just want to know WTF? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24515302 If just the one salt dome goes, than yes the "sinking" would stop. The salt caverns run for miles however, all the way out into the Gulf. If a chain reaction were to occur, well...... Lots of cracks and seepage going on, along with seismic activity. Not good. |
Bowyn Aerrow User ID: 22229335 United States 10/02/2012 02:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's making residents ill?? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24515302 [link to www.examiner.com] An oil slick in the sinkhole area is now so powerful, it can be smelled a half-mile from La. 70 that is near its boundary. The diesel vapors are making some residents ill, they say. Oil smells like diesel? Yes. no, yes... depends on the oil. The reality is that most diesel smells like oil having a pretty high percentage of thick oil in its mix. Gasoline has nearly no oil in its mix thus smells like, well gasoline. Different oils smell differently. Clean oils (sweet crude) actually doesn't smell too much of oil. Crude, or shale oils tend to have a more oily/diesel smell to them. Black oil is 'dirty' mixed with sediments and other things. Sweet oil tends to be greener and semi-transparent. Then you have shades of dark, browns even red oils - depending on the surrounding soils. "My Dog, its full of fleas!" -David Bowwow “A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on.

Ok so it's crude oil in there since they are smelling diesel....now the question is, is it normal to have crude oil in there? Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions but I just want to understand and I can't keep up with the millions of other posts about it. |

The Feline Funkadelic User ID: 1506838 United States 10/02/2012 02:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On every thread/post about the sinkhole and grotesque happenings in Louisiana, there's always gotta be someone who makes a smartass comment, "throw a match in the hole" or something of the like. Really, people? ffs. Hey India, why don't we come around your neck of the woods and light all the random garbage and sewage filling the streets and see how you dig it. Maybe throw some dynamite in the Ganges and watch that toxic sludge go ablaze? Good god. Anyway, carry on. "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
