Title: Flyover reveals sink hole has grown
Source: KSLA
Date: August 10, 2012
Members of a Louisiana National Guard [...] helicopter crew used infrared equipment to observe a 10 to 20 foot growth on the north and south ends.
[...]
Meanwhile, scientists with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality were on site testing Thursday for naturally occurring radioactive materials.
[...]
Initial tests found nothing radioactive, but more materials have been sent for further testing. Those results are expected back next week.
[...]
“We’re doing it now because it’s a site that was used for oil and gas production and that’s basically a site that you will see and that’s typically a site that you will see this type of material [...] We’re doing it now because we’ve been taking exploratory air and water samples since July 13 and we’re doing it out of an abundance of caution.” -Rodney Mallet with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality

Key words.."salt cavern"..

The area is pocked with salt domes that extend way down into the Gulf of Mexico. Here is a clip frpm Dutchsinse with some context:

And this is something that I followed during the Deepwater Horizon Gulficide Event. It's a set of drawings by a Singapore based geo-hazards consultant B.K.Lim. He believes the Macondo well blowout has the signature of a salt dome failure. Matt Simmons went further and proposed that the Macondo well failure was deliberate. He was an industry vetran, and highly respected. He died unexpectedly during the crisis. Many speculated that he was 'shut up' because his views were disrupting the industry and corpgov 'offical line' that there was really nothing much to see and gulf seafood is AOK….Remember 'junk shot'? Any connection with TEPKILL's sawdust sand and newspaper radplugs? Same janitor running the emergency response? (Apologies in advance to all competent janitors)

Let's suck the life out of the planet and hope it doesn't cause any sinkholes. Makes perfect sense. I am entirely convinced that all areas of the energy industry have been rendered retarded by the blinding dollar-signs in their eyes. I apologize for the bluntness here, but this is common sense. Who among us has not made an attempt at digging a cave in the sand at the beach close to the water's edge? What happens as the water level comes up to replace the sand you remove? What does that water do? It does what it is supposed to do. It levels, settles the sand, erodes the sides and fills it all in. Did they really think that a bayou would act any different?

Hmmm… "naturally" occurring radioactive materials that are typically found at oil and gas drilling sites..
hmmm again…
…oil industry allowing radioactive materials to be pumped down into their holes?
..or maybe some sort of "radically" new drilling methods?
Didn't the oil companies buy all of the uranium fields?
…so maybe not such a stretch?
We need a citizen's panel that also gets samples of this kind of crap for verification testing.. it is not that I don't trust the "official" results..
oh wait..
I do not trust any "official" results.. not EPA, FDA, or any national lab test.
Taxation without representation unless you are a corporation and then you used your influence to rid yourself of taxation and regulation… without the regulation the corporations bought all the media, and have used it to convince your average citizen that nuclear power is good, clean and necessary and jobs are more important than their earth.
Ridiculous!!!
Re-regulate media ownership!!!
..and get rid of campaign contributions period. provide a very small public budget and limit how much air time candidates get, and make the stations provide this time as a condition of licensure…
We, the people, can do better.

Executive abundance of caution: "I ain't going near that thing."

they tested the air once, and further tests are still pending.
whew!
Nothing more to see here folks
/thinks Louisiana could use a break

Isn't this how STEVEN SEGAL'S action classic "Fire Down Below" ends!?
PS. Segal shoots Randy Travis in the neck in this one!

@tjharleycjmp: one of the few movies Segal ever acted in, that's worth the watch…

At the end of the video it states that they tested for radioactivity and found NOTHING radioactive. That's strange. I thought the usual lie is "Nothing above the usual background radiation found." I would like to know of a spot on earth that has no radioactivity at all.

They have had a long time already for tests, why are they not published. Not good news I would think.
