LA SINKHOLE.... 50 Million Cubic Ft. of Gas Rising to surface, covers 2 square mile area.

Thanks for bump & embedding videos. (new here. haven't figured that out yet)

I understand this formation as ...A FISSURE RISING TO THE SURFACE..ITS AT 1,100 BELOW SAND...COULD BE A CRACK???? 2 TO 10 FEET BY 2 MILES LONG...what is your understanding of this...FISSURE?

OK GUYS. THIS IS THE TIPPING POINT.

THIS IS THE ONE THING.

IT IS NOW TIME TO LEAVE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND!

SOMEBODY PIN THIS AND PIN IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

MY DAD SAYS GO! GO NOW!

THATS ALL I AM GOING TO SAY.

TIMES RUNNING OUT!

PIN THIS AND KEEP IT UP UNTIL ALL THOSE THAT NEED TO SEE. SEE! EYES OPEN WIDE GUYS!

Somebody Pin This Right Now. Warn Everybody Right Now.

Assuming the worst-case, how wide of an area will be affected if and when this thing pops?

not sure about the gas. but there are two butane wells with about 100,000 barrells of butane right next to sink whole. it has been said that, that alone would be like 10 hiroshimo bombs going off at once. so add the gas into the equation. we are screwed here in louisiana.

Ever seen a map of all the salt caverns and the fields of gas under them. The miles of gas lines.

That whole Coastal Area and the New Madrid probably with it. Its all interconnected. Its all unstable now.

This is so bad you have no idea. There are no words to describe what this could do.

Come on guys everything is crumbling before your eyes and the sea beds are ripping open.

BP Maconda is leaking again. Hello.

Get moving.

A sinkhole that started out small has grown to about 10 feet in diameter -- and several feet deep.

That's according to some who work in the 4000 block of Michoud Blvd., near Gentilly Road, where the once pothole-sized crevasse has expanded dramatically over a 3-month span.

Images sent to WDSU show one lane of the street fully consumed by the sinkhole. The second lane is marked with a warning barrel. It too is beginning to disintegrate.

WDSU contacted officials at City Hall to inquire about efforts or plans to address the problem. A spokesman said he would make certain the Public Works Department was aware of the matter.

There is a sinkhole pandemic worldwide now.

This one by far the worst because of the salt caverns and gas field and drilling in the area. Its unlike the rest of them and far more dangerous.

javascript:doSmilie(':hiding:');

I would not want to be living anywhere near that.

not for long at least! ha!!

Won't be much longer! The Lake Peigneur is very disturbing that its bubbling again. It means that the caverns are collaspeing into each other and there is now an ever growing connection like a tube/channel opening up.

Soon it will UNDERMINE the whole area and when its finished then it all begins. Its close.

I think BP drilling "accident" is what started it all.

yep.

basically it's just getting worse every day.

so people who choose to keep living there are doing so out of ignorace or foolishness. it isn't getting better, ever.

the salt will continue to dissolve into the groundwater and the natural gas will find ways back up through cracks.. plus the oil from deepwater horizon isn't going anywhere..

and the amount of earthquakes along that new madrid in the past 2 years, fuck me sideways if these aren't enough signs to LEAVE LOUISIANA NOW then nothing will be.

commifornia getting exactly what it deserves. good riddance liberals.

Exactly right.
Why can we understand this and the experts seem to be baffled?
I read in a geological study rcently that the Gulf area and Southern Louisiana area have over 600 salt domes of record. Some are so deep that their bottom depth is unknown, and these are the ones that in my opinion reach together at the base and attach to salt domes under the Gulf of Mexico. This is where it all connects to the BP Gulf oil disaster and the current situation where gas is flowing freely in the Gulf. I think if they plug that flow in the Gulf it will have an additional and disasterous back up effect on the Bayou area. This is all just my opinion after reading about this for the last many months.

Dude!! LA == Louisiana

We have the sinkhole in LA and the sinkhole in Arizona now - wow...what's next ?


Ariz. highway closed due to sink hole

It's ok to stay... It was his dad who said go... Not his Uncle.

Yep, I used to live in Ontario, Calif. and people thought it was Canada - Ontario - sometimes you gotta clarify these days which LA you're talking about.

Can you say DOMINO AFFECT! It's gonna unzip the US from stem to stern!

Here's more sinkhole news from N.J. It looks like a huge pothole, but it made the news as a sinkhole.
