BP gusher to spew 2 billion barrels?

[quote=Zeitgeist]I forgot to mention there will be no one around to do the plucking off the roof this time. It will be dog eat dog and most of the infrastructure will probably collapse and the cops will be protecting their own families. The military will be busy fighting a losing war and it will take a long time to get the National Guard in gear. In other words, you are on your own. It would be a perfect time for another Red Dawn, but I figure you did not need to hear that. So fasten your seat belt, it is going to be a bumpy ride and not everyone will survive, especially those who like gadgets. The grid will be down. FYI- there is a difference between pessimism and realism and it is not just about the fullness of the glass.[/quote]

So what will fix this? Drill-baby-drill, I suppose.

Oil from the BP oil spill disaster is spewing again into the Gulf of Mexico at nearly full force after a venting system connected the so-called containment cap over the blown-out wellhead was damaged in an accident with a robot sub, said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the commander in charge of the government’s effort to control the 65-day-old spill.

It does not get doomier than that.

2. First Tsunami with Toxic Cloud

If the toxic gas bubble explodes, it might simultaneously set off a tsunami travelling at a high speed of hundreds of miles per hour. Florida might be most exposed to the fury of a tsunami wave. The entire Gulf coastline would be vulnerable, if the tsunami is manifest. Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and southern region of Georgia might experience the effects of the tsunami according to some sources.

3. Second Tsunami via Vaporisation

After several billion barrels of oil and billions of cubic feet of gas have been released, the massive cavity beneath the ocean floor will begin to normalise, allowing freezing water to be forced naturally into the huge cavity where the oil and gas once were. The temperature in that cavity can be extremely hot at around 150 degrees celsius or more. The incoming water will be vaporised and turned into steam, creating an enormous force, which could actually lift the Gulf floor. According to computer models, a second massive tsunami wave might occur.

The post this thread is based on from the oildrum was on countdown tonight on MSNBC. Pretty strange that the read a post from a blog on a prime time cable show.

Here is the link to the segment:

It is a discussion of dougr post (with Olbermann reading quotes from the post).
