From what I have read, it’s not the oil that is the problem. The problem is that the Gulf Sea Floor has the largest deposit of methane hydrates under the oil deposits. The same methane hydrates underneath the Gulf of Mexico where a crater larger than the Grand Canyon was caused by a meteor and released the methane hydrates that caused the dinosaur extinction.
Not to mention that the oil rig is right smack on top of the New Madrid fault. Imagine that area creating a sinkhole. Lord help us all.
I wonder if magma movement could have caused the methane hydrates to expand, raising the pressure on the oil field above it?
There were two volcanoes in Guatamala in just the last month. Would they also be a signal of magma movement?
Your post is scaring me further but I am still not sure I understand. The risks are of major temblors, even “extinction?”
Safe to say the entire gulf coast would be gone and done...living in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas..no longer an option and Mexico loses most of its land as well.
I can believe something like this happening. Our planet has had many many things happen in its history.

Check out the links to the radio broadcasts - 80.2 relates to what you are saying. The guy is probably a bit out there, but his scenario is truly frightening re the fault line.
Ny LORD, the Gulf is gonna sink!!!!
Oh...That's nice...
