>> Updated Here: Officials confirm the crude oil covering the giant sinkhole in Assumption Parish, LA is coming from a massive underground formation(s) of crude oil and gas, and officials don’t know how to stop it. In the Napoleonville Salt Dome below the sinkhole, there is an estimated 500 billion cubic feet of gas and 200 million gallons of crude oil. <<
A new map of the sinkhole’s dimensions was uploaded to the Assumption Parish website at 11:45a ET on October 14, 2012:

The ground is sinking – gettin lower under ground water level.
Isnt there any satellite photos that can show precisely what the levels are?

Lying bastards, do they think we are blind? Its WAY bigger than their blue line, the water is extending dozens of feet beyond their supposed edge.

A lot easier to see on their high-res picture. The yellow oil boom must be at least 80' beyond the supposed edge in green.
Their definition of 'edge' must be the point where a hundred-foot tall tree starts getting sucked down.
90 million cubic feet of dirt collapsed into the cavern so far. Texas Brine said the sinkhole is only 15 million cubic feet (Oct 10th). I would guess things will be moving around for a while.

Oil Spill Causes Short-Term Damage to Rat DNA, Implications for the Gulf?
“The new study of rats shows a direct link between respiratory exposure to compounds discharged by the fuel and damage to genetic material. In order to analyse the possible alterations to the DNA and its repair processes, the researchers took blood samples from each animal and carried out cytogenic tests.”
"It must be borne in mind that certain higher risk groups, such as children, pregnant women and those suffering from cardiorespiratory illnesses “should avoid exposure to fuel as much as possible,” Valdiglesias concludes."
