How the ultimate BP Gulf disaster could kill millions

Disturbing evidence is mounting that something frightening is happening deep under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico—something far worse than the BP oil gusher.

Warnings were raised as long as a year before the Deepwater Horizon disaster that the area of seabed chosen by the BP geologists might be unstable, or worse, inherently dangerous.

What makes the location that Transocean chose potentially far riskier than other potential oil deposits located at other regions of the Gulf? It can be summed up with two words: methane gas.

According to worried geologists, the first signs that the methane may burst its way through the bottom of the ocean would be fissures or cracks appearing on the ocean floor near the damaged well head.

Evidence of fissures opening up on the seabed have been captured by the robotic submersibles working to repair and contain the ruptured well. Smaller, independent plumes have also appeared outside the nearby radius of the bore hole itself.

I am posting this after reading this thread : rift in the ocean floor miles from the BP wellhead. The rift was reported to be more than 100 feet

We live in dangerous times .....

1. oh yay a methane clathrate release would just be a rather thick

icing on this cake.

Previous OP on this article was sent quickly to the dungeon. Source (helium.com) is not credible.

9. I initially decided against posting this ...

But, after reading a number of fresh stories today that follow along this line, it is something to at least consider ...

Feel free to criticize and reject the conclusions .... Yet there are facts 'on the ground' that seem to support at least parts of this scenario ...

While there is no evidence of an explosive gas discharge, there seem to be fissures and subsurface breaches below the wellhead allowing gas and oil to bypass the cap site ...

This is uncharted territory .... Unprecedented ....

Whether or not there will be a 'supersonic' tidal wave is certainly problematic, but there is strong evidence that a methane gas column, under extraordinary pressure, did in fact destroy the Deepwater Horizon itself ....

7. I always thought it would be nukes

Turns out millions will be killed by an earthfart.

11. LOL. What does their "content" smell like?
