"I have breaking news that is very important for people to hear. Everybody in the media, are treating this like a catastrophe that is over except for the cleanup.

It is not over, in fact it may not have even begun.

Surfaced ships, using GPS and depth finders, have recorded in the last month the emergence of a bubble under the Gulf of Mexico floor. About 15-20 miles across and tens of feet high.

This is serious.

This IS a gas bubble.

Here's what's going on. They started early this year drilling this well. Several geologists, one in particular, who became president of one of the companies that basically runs around the world and puts out well catastrophes, was writing documents and reports, talking about the type of deep water drilling that BP did. He says in these documents, there are no safety precautions at those depths. Not just the depths of the drilling, that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is the water, because if something were to go really really wrong,the the water will take it everywhere in the world. You can't turn it off.

This same geologist, wrote documents years ago saying that what BP was planning to do was nuts because the geology under the Gulf probably could not safely withstand the pressures from upening up a deep deep well.

BP went down 22,500 feet for this well! That's miles! At those depths the pressures are about 100,000 pounds per square inch. You cannot contain that! You can't.

So this was an accident almost set up to inevitably happen, then we look at what they did, and they did everything wrong. At every decision point as documents are coming out, as congress is making more and more of this stuff available through the processes going on over the last week, we find that BP did everything wrong!"

As you might have heard, they put Japanese websites, dead people, among other ridiculous things on their lists of who to contact if such a thing were to happen. They didn't even put spacers down to center the well. They practically took no precautions whatsoever.

"It's like the perfect storm of catastrophes of catastrophes, that could in fact happen because as the well blew, what happens is you have mud and oil and gas, rushing up at the speed of sound up that four mile pipe. That pipe can't stand it! What happened is the casing literally was blown away, the cement was blown out of the way, and you've got a straight line to the top for gas under almost 100,000 PSI.

What that does is it causes what's called cavitation. Which is super sonic bubbles. It's basically a super sonic implosion that gouges out little craters in even steel.

If a bubble came up, it would sink every rig and every ship in the region for miles around this well head. There are occasions where we think ships have encountered hydrates that give the water a different buoyancy. And so the ship sinks, and everybody dies because you can't swim in that either. You go down instantly.

We are looking at potentially thousands of people on all those ships and those rigs that are now trying to stall this by drilling two wells dying.

Here's the worst case scenario. (As if that wasn't bad enough)As that well, gushing up with all that enormous pressure reaches the top, if this causes cracks in the ocean floor (Which appears to be happening if you listen to the underwater guys working over there) or if the try to cap this well, or if the final rupture occurs, you could have the most horrendous gas explosion 50 miles off Louisiana that you can imagine. Think: Mount St. Helens, underwater. What that would do is create a cloud of incredible toxic material, which would then drift with the winds, over the shore, where there are millions of people. The next step, is a tsunami moving at between 400-600 miles an hour, with the most vulnerable state being Florida."

So guys, instead of saying there's nothing we can do, get some ideas together, and stay strong. Let's show the world what we are capable of.
