ok this maybe far fetched but surly they didn't cause the Macondo well to start leaking to relieve pressure off the fault area.
Quoting: Lost N Dying World no, i think there's something else happening down there
1. they should NOT have drilled there, the seabed was unstable
2. after the explosion the rov'ers clearly showed that the seafloor was cracked in numerous places and bubbles were being pushed out (likely, like w/the sinkhole, methane and maybe hydrocarbons)
we're watching the unfolding of a major geological event
we can only hope this event unfolds in slow motion so as many people as possible figure it out and do what they need to do to protect themselves and their families from harm
apparently nobody in an official position cares enough about the people they claim to serve to raise the alarm
i do not envy their karma and the lead weights they've placed on their souls
and those who did try end up drowning in hot tubs and such
:(
