...Somehow I doubt this guy would have answers even if he did work full-time.

I’ve been reading that the dispersant is more deadly than the oil. Wonder how much longer before they have to evacuate.

71 days is enough patience, Mr. Mabus.
Get your ass in gear.

They are both toxic, and so is the methane gas. Extremely toxic, and the methane gas, should it ever come on land as a single mass, will kill anything that encounters it.
This is really bad.

‘Mabus’ then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
I know, tinfoil city. But still creepy...

And a relatively small quantity of air, should it ever be introduced intravenously, will kill every human on earth.

and Obama wants to ignore this deadly problem. The media is afraid of hurting Obama with truthful reporting.

“Wonder how much longer before they have to evacuate.”
The time to evacuate was...oh, probably around day 55 or so.
But seriously, I think that folks down there should do whatever they need to do on their own- and bring in whatever researchers they need at the universities to do tests on this stuff. I have absoultely no faith that the Feds are telling the truth here after everything that has gone on.

The post that I responded to inquired about the toxicity of elements of this oil spill, not to the mortality rates of intravenous embolism.
But thank you for the useless data just the same.

You missed the point entirely, the point being that all that methane is not going to come onto land in one big mass. If it did, it would kill everything that breathed air that it overcame, but that's never going to happen. Just as a very small quantity of air is sufficient to kill every living human on earth if administered in the right way, but, like your methane gas scenario, it's never going to happen.

Navy Secretary Roy Mabus is the one who was going to be fired and replaced by Joe Sestak if Sestak took Obama’s bribe.
Mabus is also famous for tape recording his first wife’s conversations with her minister to use against her.

Kimberly, thanks for that link. My best friend is in Metairie, La. I’m over in Milton, Fl.. We are both watching this very closely. At the first sign of evacuations or toxicity moving significantly inland, we will head to by brother’s house in Denver.
In fact, if the relief wells fail to bottom kill the gusher, it may well be time to head out then, if not sooner.

Oh. I see.
What if a hurricane pulls the methane up out of the water and then pushes it onto land?
Did you see the video of boiling surf in Pensacola? That’s methane.
Do you know how much methane has been released into the gulf in the past 71 days? Sure, the water is holding much of it down at this time, but what if that changes?
Never say never.

Sounds like a wonderful guy. Just the kind of man we need to level with people during a disaster. (/sarc)

mabus is a huge leftist commie loving, union hugging thief who was one of the very worst governors this State has ever endured.

Never say never.
There is no possible weather phenomenon that can selectively extract a gas from water, contain it at sea level, much less concentrate it over hundreds of square miles of water, and deliver it over a hundred miles to land.
Are you imagining the low pressure eye of a hurricane acting like a vacuum sweeper sucking up a giant deadly cloud of methane (without the lightning in the hurricane such as there was in Emily, Katrina, and Rita igniting it) and delivering it to a city? But the air inside the eye is descending and being exchanged into the ascending air of the eye wall. If methane was coming up into the eye from the sea, it would get sucked up into the up-currents of the eye wall.
All of the air (and any gasses such as methane it contains) in the eye is
constantly being exchanged and flowing out of the hurricane. If it weren't, the low pressure area would cease to be low pressure and the storm would stop.
There have been ships supposedly sunk by being directly over a methane outgassing but that's about it.
