They lied, ignored warnings and removed safety measures, then spent the rest of this time denying the scale of the leak, ignoring proven methods to contain and clean it up, and have instead opted to spray deadly chemicals, much more toxic than the oil, into the sea, making it impossible to retrieve that oil, and creating giant floating dead zones.<br /><br />This is pure insanity.Phishybongwatershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03643320190614621832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-28087090845616812182010-05-30T07:05:51.649-07:002010-05-30T07:05:51.649-07:00the wages of sin (greed and inequity) is death
tho...the wages of sin (greed and inequity) is death<br />those who have more money than they can ever use-and hoard it so it will exist even after they die-while others die of starvation-what does it profit them -when they have lost their souls in the process-expect the destruction to continue-until america resembles Iraq and Afghanistan-Why? Ultimately-you reap what you sow-get back what you gave-destruction thirst starvation death and torture.

In asymmetric warfare, failure can be a positive act of war. BP has declared WAR against the US, probably because a handful of generals in the Pentagon are refusing to send US soldiers to war against Iran, to the detriment of the Pentagon and the benefit of BP.<br /><br />When you drill a well, of necessity you create two "holes" in the Earth. First, there is the hole that is "drilled" in the bare soil, probably 48" or so in diameter. This is the actual "raw" hole, created by a rotating bit, loosely somewhat like an augur. With proper lubrication (clay slurry) it grinds up everything it encounters. Inside the outer hole, there is the welded steel casing, made of ductile steel, probably 36" in diameter with 1" sidewalls. (The actual numbers are irrelevant.)<br /><br />Beneath the 5,000 ft of water, the well hole in this case has reportedly been drilled another 30,000 feet beneath the sea floor.<br /><br />In order to defend the well geometry from the erosive forces of the planned outflows, the entire well has to have either a rock lining for a structural sidewall, or, in loose soil like sand, a welded steel casing has be inserted to act as sidewall protector. Otherwise, the sands eventually just flow back in and shut off the well.<br /><br />The well needs structural sidewalls to prevent sand from collapsing in and closing off the well during operation.<br /><br />That points to the solution ... remove the steel casing, which may be 30,000 feet long for all we know.<br /><br />Remove the steel casing, and the flow of the oil past the weak sidewalls of sandy sidewalls of the bored well will cause the sidewalls to collapse back in towards the center and close the well off.<br /><br />But how do we to remove the steel casing?<br /><br />Thermite was used in the bombing of Dresden ... it is regularly used in underwater bridge demolition ... it was used to melt the 16 core columns in each of the World Trade Center towers on 9-11-01, each of which columns were welded from steel sheets that were 6" thick. Thermite melts 6" thick steel like it was butter in an oven.<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Thermite was also used to bring down the drilling tower itself. This smells like 9-11 all over again. The surface fires on the drilling rig did not cause the support legs of the rig, that were underwater, to suddenly melt. Yet, it is easily visible that that was apparently what happened. When the rig collapsed, it gave way underwataer.<br /><br />Dump Thermite on the well head ... the fact that it is underwater will have no effect whatsoever on the chemical reaction between the aluminum and the iron. The casing will be melted by the ferocious exothermic reaction between the iron in the steel and the weaponized aluminum in the Thermate. The ball of melted steel can keep on going right on through to China, for all I care.<br /><br />I call it the 911 solution.<br /><br />The flowing column of oil, 30,000 feet long, will no longer be confined by the geometry of the steel casing. Thus, it can begin to SLOW DOWN!<br /><br />Getting this 30,000 foot long column of incompressible fluid to slow down has to be the first step to stopping the flow and later closing the well. Otherwise, you are just throwing bricks at a huge water hammer effect ... in terms of momentum there is not much difference between a vertical column of incompressible fluid, 30,000 ft long, confined to a given geometry and moving, and a horizontal freight train 30,000 feet long, and moving. Neither is going to be stopped by some abrupt shut off valve effect ... a 30,000 ft long column of incompressible fluid already in motion, is not going to be stopped by any thing, except by first removing the geometry of its confinement, to slow it down.<br /><br />THERMITE the casing ... with the confinement removed, the flows slow down and the sidewalls of sand collapse in.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058264802090146839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-16652079297715006972010-05-24T16:44:25.710-07:002010-05-24T16:44:25.710-07:00This is no longer the land of the free.
