Thanks. Gulf of Mexico turning into a sinkhole
for the Atlantic Ocean. Good news is hurricanes might not be able to sustain themselves in the gulf if this scenario happens. Bad news is this is pretty horrific anyway. I'm hoping these speculative histories are wrong.

Dick Cheney purchased 550 plastic caskets a few years ago. They are located in the south, I think it is MO. or MS. I wonder why. They have today 5000 U.N. Vehicles parked at Jacksonville, FL. Why?

Do they know what is going to happen to that sea floor if it collapses? Thanks for that post you brought here. See below

BP

At some point the drilled hole in the earth will enlarge itself beneath the wellhead to weaken the area the wellhead rests upon. The intense pressure will then push the wellhead off the hole allowing a direct unrestricted flow of oil, etc.

The hole will continue to increase in size allowing more and more oil to rise into the Gulf. After several billion barrels of oil have been released, the pressure within the massive cavity five miles beneath the ocean floor will begin to normalize.

This will allow the water, under the intense pressure at 1 mile deep, to be forced into the hole and the cavity where the oil was. The temperature at that depth is near 400 degrees, possibly more.

The water will be vaporized and turned into steam, creating an enormous amount of force, lifting the Gulf floor. It is difficult to know how much water will go down to the core and therefore, its not possible to fully calculate the rise of the floor.

The tsunami wave this will create will be anywhere from 20 to 80 feet high, possibly more. Then the floor will fall into the now vacant chamber. This is how nature will seal the hole.

Depending on the height of the tsunami, the ocean debris, oil, and existing structures that will be washed away on shore and inland, will leave the area from 50 to 200 miles inland devoid of life. Even if the debris is cleaned up, the contaminants that will be in the ground and water supply will prohibit re-population of these areas for an unknown number of years.
