"The subterranean methane is pressurized at 100,000 pounds psi. According to Matt Simmons, an oil industry expert, the methane pressure at the wellhead has now skyrocketed to a terrifying 40,000 pounds psi."
This alone ruins it. 40,000 pounds pounds-per-square-inch. Good one, dumbass.
Or how about "Workers there now wear advanced protection including state-of-the-art, military-issued gas masks."
I didn't realise gasmasks required that much technology... or that military issued was much different than, say, the standard ones at oil rigs where you can easily hit 'sour gas' which would kill everyone without gas masks.
"If the methane bubble?a bubble that could be as big as 20 miles wide?erupts with titanic force from the seabed into the Gulf, every ship, drilling rig and structure within the region of the bubble will immediately sink. All the workers, engineers, Coast Guard personnel and marine biologists participating in the salvage operation will die instantly."
No, actually, the humans will either be crushed or, vastly more likely, drowned. Which is not instant. Many ships not directly over this "bubble" have a decent chance of surviving, but it'll be rough. Like in the Perfect Storm. (massive waves)
"Next, the ocean bottom will collapse, instantaneously displacing up to a trillion cubic feet of water or more and creating a towering supersonic tsunami annihilating everything along the coast and well inland. Like a thermonuclear blast, a high pressure atmospheric wave could precede the tidal wave flattening everything in its path before the water arrives."
Ok sure. That would be a pretty big disaster and reach a good deal inland in some areas. But certainly not capable of killing the world.
"When the roaring tsunami does arrive it will scrub away all that is left."
lol.
"A report from one observer in South Carolina documents oily residue left behind after a recent thunderstorm. And before the news blackout fully descended the EPA released data that benzene levels in New Orleans had rocketed to 3,000 parts per billion."
Well no shit, it's an oil spill. It does, however, suck a LOT.
"Most experts in the know, however, agree that if the world-changing event does occur it will happen suddenly and within the next 6 months.
So, if events go against Mankind and the bubble bursts in the coming months, Gregory Ryskin may become one of the most famous people in the world. Of course, he won't have long to enjoy his new found fame because very shortly after the methane eruption civilization will collapse"
Haahahaha!
