BP Gulf Oil Spill Cam 06-16-2010 06:26P 1 Billion Barrels Ready to Burst Forth Anytime



Comment on youtube:

"June 16, 2010 — The sea-floor around this well is letting loose. Oil is seeping out of cracks in the rock formation below the well. Just have a look a what they are looking at. "


IF VIDEO STOPS WORKING (PLEASE NOTE):

I hit the youtube link button, and a error message appeared that said, "Embedding disabled by request." DID BP PAY YOUTUBE do diable the embedding link for this video?

There is no way to tell when this thing will come apart. It is common sense to understand that if they do cap the well, then the pressure has to go somewhere. The pressure will immediately be put to the weakest point, which seems to be the cracks in the sea floor. In all honesty, I do not see how they can fix the integrity of the well. The problem is not in the head of the well. It is much deeper than that and the oil coming out of the cracks are solid proof.

Embedded videos don't get any view counts from what I read a bit ago since youtube changed it. Probably the poster wanted to know how many people are seeing it or something.

Goddamn, need more HD videos.

Is there any sites where you can watch ROV cams in better quality?

If there really is 1 Billion barrels held under ground and building pressure as we speak, then I would say goodbye to all of the gulf. I am sure that would trigger massive tsunamis. Is this the reason they might be preparing for a mass evacuation?

you think BP wants everyone to see their folly in High Def... LOL!!!

Imagine that! I wish we could see it too though.

You know they have it.

Hoagland may very well be right on the money with his predictions and his supposed inside sources on this one. Huge tsunamis... massive he says. And this coupled with the gulf region being not very high above sea level.. this could get real ugly. So if evacuations are being planned on a massive scale, in secret even. i totally understand why.

The oil the Deepwater Horizon rig was tapping is 2 - 2.5 miles below the Ocean floor, it's extremely unlikely a section of the floor that thick will just give way and collapse leading to massive tsunamis... The worst that will happen is once/if the well is capped the amount of oil leaking from the floor will increase and there will be no way to stop it. For all we know the Ocean floor could have been leaking for years, it looks like such a small amount that being so deep it could've gone unnoticed for a very long time.

I'm sorry I'm still on the Nuke wagon...



I know, you all have probably seen this video a million times but I'm sure you also noticed that natural gas started leaking around the well. The nuke fixed it....

There is plenty of nice hard solid rock in the sea floor for this to work.

Some are speculating that there is a methane bubble just under the surface near the spill. Could the use of nukes release it? This must be factored into the equation, I feel.

Of course the existence of the methane bubble is speculation, it may not be there.

Well the nuke would never touch a drop of oil nor would it touch the well. How this works is you drill down beside the well a good distance out (and not at a depth that would penetrate the well underneath). Once the nuke is detonated the shock wave forces impermeable strata into the well forcing it closed.

It wouldn't even have to be a big nuke. Plus in this video they closed a natural gas well. Methane is present there as well. I'm sure it wouldn't take a scientist to convince you that natural gas (basically just methane) is far more explosive than oil.

The radiation would be sealed safely under the seabed after wards. I'm not saying this will work 100% but either way this oil is going to escape. All of it. We need to do something and IMHO this is the best solution.

When the area is evacuated for a routine hurricane event they might try the nukes. Might work.

It might just work!

I have problems with it though. Here's an analogy from gambling. You are at the 5.00 craps table and you are getting your ass kicked. The 200 dollar buy in you made looks pretty bad. But wait! Over there is a 25 dollar craps table. A few good hits and you will be straight.

What happens next?

It's hard to press up your luck when you have none.

I would advise Obama to be conservative at this point, remember your first loss is always the cheapest. A trillion dollars, two trillion dollars, they can always print up more money. Clean up the oil spill, try relief wells, try again. They basically are playing for the entire "bankroll" here. Play "tight poker" here. Even if this spill costs this country half of it's available cash to fix, they still have half left.

Well, how many nukes do we have per say just sitting there doing nothing? They are already made and paid for.

How much more money will the cleanup cost if we give this say 2 more months? 10 months? Years?

If the costs are the problem then wouldn't it be more cost effective to act now?

That oil is going to pour out of that well nonstop until there is no more oil to spew. This is not a tanker here, this is a full rich deposit of oil. There is an unbelievable amount of that stuff down there.

could be up to 3 billion according to this New York Times Article

or 4-6 billion according to this one

BP admits it can't cap the well or it might blow

The reservoir is estimated to contain from 3-6 BILLION barrels of oil

A couple of micro nukes might be worth a try. But they have to wait until the two relief wells are dug to come close then use them as nuke chutes. If they try to jam a nuke down the main line through the BOP it might just get sandblasted to nothing before they could get it deep enough.

The big question is, "Do you feel lucky?"

If they use the nukes I would suggest some around the clock prayer action in advance. If they burst a methane bubble with a nuke, well.

I bet thats what this document is about...evacuation codes for the rich people if something disasterous happens.

You may be on to something there. maybe the "relief" wells are chutes to drop a nuke down through. But then again if what they drill is only an few inches around, then maybe not. But calling it a relief well would be a good way to hide the truth.
