Monday, June 28, 2010

"We're going to have to evacuate the gulf states," said Matt Simmons, founder of Simmons and Co., an oil investment firm and, since the April 20 blowout, the unflagging source of end-of-the-world predictions. "Can you imagine evacuating 20 million people? . . . This story is 80 times worse than I thought."

Drilling the Gulf Relief Well


Great footage of massive relief well drilling operation. Pray they intersect the well- It won't be easy. Listen to Jeffrey Kofman describe the procedure in the last 30 seconds of the video:

"Now this is nothing less than precision drilling. What they are looking for 18,000 feet down is a hole about nine inches across - the size of a Frisbee. And the reason it is going to take another six or seven weeks to go that last 1,800 feet is that they have to drill 60 feet, pull the drill bit out, put a magnet down attached to a 16,000 foot wire, find the pipe of that broken well, get their bearings, drill ahead 60 feet, pull it out and keep going back and forth. And we have to emphasize that while they have drilled many relief wells before, they have never done it at this depth."

Disaster Defined

An occurrence causing widespread destruction and distress; a catastrophe.

A disaster is a perceived tragedy, being either a natural calamity or man-made catastrophe. It is a hazard which has come to fruition. A hazard, in turn, is a situation which poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or that may deleteriously affect society or an environment.

In the modern world, the traditional view of natural disasters as punishments for human wickedness has given way to the scientific study of the causes of seemingly unpredictable acts of nature. In recent years, however, scholars have placed more emphasis on the roles played by greed and indifference to potential human suffering in many seemingly "natural" disasters.
