I'm certainly glad the "expert" could sort out what regular citizens have known for weeks. They'd better figure something out and quickly. Lack of attention is going result in a whole new South. Literally.

So, as it has appeared from the very start, they are, indeed, perplexed. Since this new phenomenon forced the extractors, geologists, law enforcement, residents, and local leaders, including international experts, to examine this sinkhole with a fine tooth comb, the problem is going to be how to characterize this unfolding event in such a way as to not interfere with current practices of extracting and dumping and fracking at will.
Report Comment
With the current trend of the last decade of hiring companies like Texas Brine to magically make fracking sludge disappear from sight, this is not going to be unique for long.

You paint an ugly picture, h, some of us are trying to eat breakfast.
The real problem with this group of "fixers" on these problems is their arrogance and collusion. We don't need their "professional" opinions to know this situation is dangerous and catastrophic. Just like Fukushima.
We all must work to find more and better ways to use the evidence all around us to focus other people's attention to these man made environmental hazards. The only way to win against these types is to out number them with an educated populous.

Report Comment
Ah yes, the mantra of 21st century democratic economies. Big Brothers everywhere believe in capitalist profits and socialist bailouts.
All of this subterfuge is done with great public fanfare of the touted generosity of corporations in regards to helping small businesses and individuals receive reparations for oil or nuclear industry disasters.
In reality the reparations are offset by what the corporation writes off in taxes or in a Ponzi shuffle of companies to protect their shareholders and board of directors. It should be revealed that damages to the public health and livelihoods are damaged by major eco spills far beyond any assets of a corporation or even a government. The $20 billion fund by BP for the Deep Horizon reparations is an insult to the Gulf coast citizens. All the assets of every oil company in the world wouldn't make up the financial and social costs longterm from ocean spills around the globe. Fracturing damages and nuclear pollution to priceless water aquifers adds another blank check that society will never cash over the next millennia.

I wrote the Shaw group to Gary Hecox,I asked him to setup a expert blog system so people like me and others including engineers,geologists emergency people , first responders can all get together where we all can send ideas to each other and work on many types of ideas that might be feasible to this ongoing Disaster.

Shocking Video Bunker explosion may have been a UFO CRASH. Look at the 2 hits and debris fields its like something crashed and blew up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1DkmUGdWWs8
Report Comment
maekww: One thing for sure, whatever crashed in northern Louisiana was probably not a meteor, which would have been seen by hundreds of witnesses as a fireball, or heard as an explosion when it entered the atmosphere. If it had been a meteor, there would have been a crater. This object came in low and slow, and apparently broke up as it came down, producing the two crash sites. I suggest this was a test of an Iranian ICBM. What this was not, was an explosion in an ammunition bunker.

I don't know what it was. Maybe an unman drone or a top secret thing they were testing, who knows?
The one thing we do know is, we aren't getting total accurate information again.

If you actually watch the original video on this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oY-wbWx2tk&feature=related
You can see that it was a bunker that exploded. Bunkers have tons of dirt piled around them just for this kind of event that suppresses the blast to some degree. The dirt is thrown all around the site, including at the train.
What caused it? Don't know, but trains have been known to throw sparks from their wheel carriages. Bearing out maybe?
Of course there could have been methane or a gas that ignited.
Gun powder has been known to ignite fron friction and vibration.
Just my humble take on this…

The "offical comments" on the 1500 ft final size of the sink hole..comes directly from DNR..nothing new. So they are using early suppositions, without new data involved. Not exactly what we are looking for. .From DNR in August:
In early August, DNR scientists presented a worst-case scenario for the sinkhole.
Under that model, which was based on a complete collapse of the Texas Brine cavern and a displacement of its entire volume, scientists estimated the existing sinkhole would reach 1,400 feet in diameter and still be far from any residences."
Read it here at :

While I take a liberal dose of salt with most sites..the comments from DNR..well its factual..
Report Comment
Note the "exsisting sinkhole" total volume is used. What if its expanded or expanding OUTSIDE? Someone really needs to do the seismic studies..fast. And those tests..on oil fingerprints..so far all I have seen is the "its not from…". Same for the gas studies. Frankly..testing for VOCs..is very difficult..based on the nature of gases. I would expect MORE information for the residents based on the reports from all concerned..the government and the companies working on the problems….

Still no chemical isotopic tests fingerprinting the crude oil and bubbling methane to a specific "finite source." They are using the process of elimination to assert that the crude oil and 28 disparate bubbling sites across the Parish are coming from a formation below the salt dome. Where are the test results matching the isotopes to your source, Shaw Group??

Sigh…really?
"When pressed by residents, Hecox said the standard he is using to determine whether it is safe for evacuated residents to return to Bayou Corne is whether he would tell his children and grandchildren to go back to Bayou Corne.
He said he would not tell them that at the present time.
“Right now, the evacuation order is appropriate,” Hecox said."

That's all good and fine for Bayou Corne residents – they're almost on top of the sinkhole. I wonder if Hecox would let his children and grandchildren live in Pierre Part, Paincourtville or Belle Rose?
"Hey, it's just a little crude oil smell Gary. It won't kill 'em. And don't worry about suffocating methane clouds killing them. It would blow up and incinerate them way before it would *ever* suffocate them."
This is no different than an open-flow uncontrolled well blowout. Its just happening from a hole in the bayou instead of a well and hasn't been blasting out oil and gas at hundreds of psi… yet.
Nonetheless, I have to say that Shaw *seems* to be trying to keep people informed. That still doesn't make up much for making your family live out of suitcases for six weeks in a Super 8 motel, though. Still have to pay the mortgage, still have to keep the electricity on, and still have to pay property taxes on your Bayou Corne home (which is all but worthless as far as resale value).
God bless America – just keep drillin'.

I still feel there is a good possibility the gulf disaster is playing a part in this also.
