Helium leaking from massive earthquake fault under Los Angeles reveals giant rift

A huge fault in the Earth's crust near Los Angeles is leaking helium, researchers have found.

They say the unexpected find sheds new light on the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone in the Los Angeles Basin.

It reveals the fault is far deeper than previously thought, and a quake would be far more devastating.

It follows a report from the U.S. Geological Survey has warned the risk of 'the big one' hitting California has increased dramatically.

Someone call EPA before we all die of helium poisoning!
Yea I know helium is harmless, unless there is so much it replaces the oxygen you need, but to EPA, nothing is harmless.
They even tried to outlaw Argon, which is also a harmless inert gas which is s present in air almost by a full percent. 0.93% to be exact.
To the EPA, everything is bad, if nothing else it must cause Climate Change or something.

Can’t be replaced? Hardly. Send a cargo ship to the sun to capture its exosphere and bring it home. Nothing to it.

LOL. But seriously, can you imagine an electorate that sends HIM to Congress? Egads.

who’d a thunk ben jen splitting would be the second biggest rift to hit hollywood.

Freepers and their families get out before it goes.

I don't live in California but I have to say, when talking about these sorts of geological inevitabilities it's hard to plan your life around them. For instance eventually the super volcano we call Yellowstone will go off and take most of the USA with it. It has happened before and it will again, in geological terms "soon". But that means maybe within something like 5,000 years. Could be tomorrow, could be year 4589. I can't wrap my arms around being so risk averse as to put in place a plan to avoid that. Because if you do, you have to consider all the other extremely remote possibility catastrophes that are always possible, everywhere and essentially just shut down.

It could mean that California might capsize. Like Guam.

Thanks for the info.

I don’t know what’s worse.... This congressman or a district that would elect him?

This is my favorite video of Hank Johnson. He thought Guam might capsize.

From what I understand, the EPA and the Greens HATE Helium Balloons!

“We don’t anticipate that happening”....From the Profoundly Patient Admiral being interviewed.

LOL!

What we have to really fear is that the loss of helium will make the earth weight more and that the increased heaviness will cause it to leave its orbit and crash into the sun. Why? We all know that helium is lighter than air, thus it is used to keep blimps, baloons and dirigibles in the air, therefore it keeps the earth up in its orbit. Whe a blimp loses its helium, it crashes to the ground, therefore when the earth loses its inner helium it will crash into the sun.

Ha ha...I almost referred to him as Guam Tipping Johnson, in my previous post. GA’s Hank is solid gold!

News Flash! Caitlyn Jenner has just requested it be called “Shelium.” Thank you!
