To say it metaphoric:
Tiny little apes are playing games by piercing mother earth.
Unless she feels the pain and react…

You jogged my memory for this beautiful, elegaic song by Sparks (though my ears know the Martin Gore cover):
When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favors
Never turn your back on mother earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crushing
Never turn your back on mother earth
Three days, two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings quick return
To my friends, to my friends
I'll admit I was unfaithful
From now on I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
(Never turn your back)
Never turn your back on mother
(Never turn your back)
Never turn your back on mother earth
(Never turn your back)

looks like it has grown all the way around, and be sure to recognize, that unlike in the beginning, there are no people in it trying to clean it up.. so, one must wonder, what dangerous stuff, is there that is not being reported, or measured.
It occurs to me, that if all was fine, as being reported, there would be those individuals out there trying to mop up the mess.
…obviously, the toxic soup is no longer contained by berms either.. looks like toxic soup is moving toward the drilling pad too.. so, what if that collapses? is it possible?
Now we also have drillers playing the poke the earth and make her fart game too.. oh boy.. I mean looking for gas in the aquifer.. swiss cheese in Louisiana..

Hope that the helicopter crew has full respirators on for their safety. What's in the air- bad stuff. Have they taken air samples up there?

You can see tall trees standing on 9/15 and gone on 9/18. It's near the clearing by the road? or pipeline? not sure which. The trees are by the end of the boom that runs parallel to the "road" they are standing in water on 9/15 and completely disappeared on 9/18.

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has already called an "emergency" classification for this event. Wonder what Texas Brine feels is THEIR (TB) responsiblity? Purchase out property/homes/businesses at real value (pre -salt dome collapse) for all affected by this? Pay to relocate everyone affected? And what about the residents whose families have been on their land for generations? What financial background does the company have to draw from? This could land into the public funding pot for the victims. Sad that a company created this mess.

TB will declare bankruptcy and move on to another adventure to destroy. Their attitude "if you don't like it, you can always move." Once again no one will be held accountable.

BP like approach? Deny and stall? Get the US Government to sign off all is okay..sell local US assets and run like heck?

jec, I see that you understand the situation. It cannot be any different as long as cousins are "regulating" cousins, as at Minerals Management.
