I love the bit about 'lethal concentrations'. Mildly amusing, but then our business PP was built on a foundation of ********. Stroll on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_w_ Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm all for a proper warning and even a bit of TFH from time to time but the title Oil Disaster Will Be End of Life As We Know It" and the only source being a self appointed expert on gas toxicity and fluid dynamics (who turns out to be a pastor), I get the feeling this is yet another excercise in hyperventilation from a very bored gentleman. The last scaremonger was buying BP shares while he was advocating doomsday and predicting Chapter 11 for BP within a month (Simmons). Can you tell us what there is to take seriously in this piece?

Executive Sadman Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Obama on TV now. Sounds like a hatchet job. Almost like a pre-prepared speech he's been waiting months/years to say. Accidents dont just happen. Not like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(other remote viewers also link this particular event to an aborted space shuttle mission,coupled with a meteorite storm,with a few of these things hitting earth) if that's the sign,and you see this event happen(it will get reported)...then stock up on as much food as you can and run for the hills.(preferably some with an underground water source or easy access into the water table.......the ground will act as a decent water filter.)

Additionally, during the early days of oil exploration (pre-1930), high pressure blowouts were a frequent occurrence, and many of the fields would have had far less caprock than this particular field. The record blowout stands at something like 200,000 barrels per day, at least 3 times the current blowout. You will note that none of these occurrences ended life on earth. No man made-blowout has ever drained an entire field. This is a very bad accident - much worse than I thought it would be initially - but some perspective needs keeping.

bottletop Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Looking on the bright side though, US scientists have invented a car that runs on water..It only works on water from the gulf of mexico at the moment, but they're working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
