State Commissioner of Conservation James Welsh said Wednesday that Texas Brine Co., the company that owns the brine cavern believed to be at fault, will be breaching the cavern Thursday afternoon.
[...]
The sinkhole is at least 476 feet wide but authorities say they expect it to grow as the surrounding environment sloughs in.

Bayou Corne resident Bucky Mistreta [said] “We have some concerns because if they feel like they have to give us a 48 hour notice then that means they can expect trouble.”
[...]
He’s worried a new sinkhole or even an explosion could happen during the drilling process.
“There is more seismic activity in the area just like there was before the original sinkhole,” said Mistreta.

[Donald Gros, Bayou Corne resident] said,” I believe that they are hiding a lot of the information. They are giving us some stuff don’t get me wrong, but I believe that they are hiding a lot of important information that they don’t want people to know about.”

Absolutely, nedli – people see what they are directed to see. "Not me", we all say… but it's true for everyone:

@aigeezer: Good link! Smug I was since I'd seen a version of it before – turns out they knew people like me would be watching this version! This condition we have of not seeing, not hearing, is why we need wide-open communication, and why we need to listen up when someone tells we're missing "obvious" information!

Thanks for not giving away the punchlines, Maggie123. Smug I was also but the second surprise(s) got me. Now I wonder what else is in there – and elsewhere, unnoticed. Tepcocam, anyone?

Salt domes along the Gulf coast have been abused for decades. Look at Mont Belvieu near Baytown, Texas, if you want an example. But that was in pre-fracking days. They have opened a whole new era of woe in drilling for shale gas. A third of the US is going to end up as toxic wasteland if fracking is allowed to continue.

@dosdos, I've been unashamedly slipping in references to this potential in barely relevant on-line discussions. Can't say I'm making much headway but I know I'm not the only one – whispers perhaps can become a roar? The people living around the sinkhole must often feel the US has no interest … sadly, as media goes, they're close to correct.

Very interesting reference map, shows how far away the community is.. when looking at it, I can imagine the entire area surrounded by bubbling is going to be involved… and of course, given the river is bubbling.. well, it looks really bad..

@Cataclysmic – Thanks for the map link. About 1/2 mile to reach community corners? These people must live with a quiet dread similar to the Japanese. Even if the threat is not quite so catastrophic – at least in simplest comparative terms – as a personal experience it must come close.
