Yes, and I remember all the doomsayers about how Y2K bug was going to destroy every electronic/computerized device. Guys with masters degrees in comp sci/math were harping all day long from the rooftops.

Engineers fix things. Sometimes that have to fix BIG things, like this. They will!

Not saying this isn’t serious, it is..but the end of the world is in God’s hands..NOT man!

Y2K could have created serious problems had it not been addressed ahead of time. It only blew over because of all the time, money, and effort spent to make sure Y2K didn’t happen. And that was only after spending an estimated $300 billion worldwide and years to work by software engineers and programmers.

Engineers can fix many things, but certain problems can’t be fixed instantly by simply throwing more money and manpower at them. These guys have to figure out how to cap a gushing well more than a mile underwater. I don’t have the foggiest idea of how they’re going to go about it. Good luck and godspeed.
