There have been several reports of oil and gas leaking on the cracks in the Gulf of Mexico seafloor which may cause problems with BP capping the gushing oil well.

Although BP denies that there is oil or gas leaking from the cracks in the sea floor many people watching the BP Oil leak cam have witnessed explosions and leaks from the seafloor.

I discussed this issue in detail when I was recently interviewed by Fintan Dunne.

Well those reports from Senator Nelson and Matt Simmons among other experts are now confirmed and if you didn’t already now it could be really bad news.

As Keith Olbermann put it on his MSNBC show “Countdown” when reporting about the possibility of the sea floor leaking “What’s Worse Than Doomsay? … This is It”.

In any case, BP denying these reports is absolute proof that BP is not being truthful about what is really going on the sea floor.

The Government really needs to step in at this point and allow independent outsiders such as James Cameron assess the situation on the Gulf of Mexico sea floor.

This also indicates BP is putting on a pony show until the relief wells can be completed.

However several experts including Matt Simmons and Dr. Stephen A. Rinehart have came forward and said if the well casing is blown because we do indeed have leaks coming from cracks in the sea bed it could cause problems with the relief wells.

They warn that leaks in the seafloor from broken well casing could allow cement from the relief well to escape from the damaged well casing which would prevent the cement from curing.

According to Business Week and several other sources experts have also warned that the relief wells could take until December to complete and that doesn’t even factor blown well casing into the time line.

The US government cannot allow BP to waste time leaving this well leaking until December only to find out that the relief wells won’t work because BP has been lying about the integrity of the well casing the entire time.

1. He cites the dougr post at TOD
which is a close mirror to a conspiracy site and is being debunked at TOD. Just FYI.

3. Question ...

Do you have saved as a bookmark or anything a series of posts in which some TOD old-timers were discussing what this video is? I know I saw a couple posts there because I was pointed to them via their IRC channel, but I seem to have lost the link and the IRC log file for that entire day. I know this is a long shot. I'm just asking 'cause you were apparently reading posts near it if you've come across that. Problem is, there's a LOT of posts near it, and I don't find myself wanting to wade through them all again. I will if I have to but thought I would ask.

From the chat that day, I seem to recall they thought this was probably debris that would capture oil and release it through cracks. The sea floor around there isn't rocky. It gets a constant covering of Mississippi silt and mud.

Regarding "dougr," he admitted the post was first made at godlikeproductions and with a wink and a nod basically said he was the same person as the poster there. And that person is a nutter.

4. This is the original dougr post at TOD:
http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6593#comment-648967

Below that is a couple pics of the floor and dust.

And June 13, 2010 - 1:48pm thread here: http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6594#comment-649226

This goes into the alexanderhiggins video, which I think is the one you refer to.

Hope this helps.
