Is there any merit to it?

I don't have any inside information on this. The way I understand it is the casing is ruptured. Oil and mud was going out this rupture when the top kill was being attempted.
Some people are hysterical over this. They should be hysterical if they are right about what it means. The believe this means we will not be about to kill the well with the relief wells. They believe a geological collapse of the ground over the reservoir is likely releasing all of the oil at once.
I don't believe this will stop the bottom kill once the relief wells finish.

I could not agree more. Hopefully, someone will come in here with knowledge and say this is bunk but for reason I do not think it is.

I've also heard if there is a seabed collapse there could be a 20-80 ft tsunami. Scary shite.

Rueters said that BP was going to have 80K barrels a day capacity by the end of this month. Which is wrong. They don't understand the the two new production rigs being brought in will replace the Enterprise and the Q4000. The just added up all the numbers and report that to the world. And I bet they never put out a retraction. Then people will claim that BP lied once again. When time after time it isn't BP but the stupid news media.

the common thought that petroleum reservoirs are void space in the rock filled w/ liquid is not true at all
when a reservoir collapses there is NO tsunami

the FPSO they are bringing in is made to offload this cude easily

plus isn't the actual reservoir another 5 miles underneath the sea floor? So even if it was just a huge lake of oil, it would take a frick-ton of damage (e.g. tectonic plate movements or some shite hahaha) to collapse 5 miles of sea floor

yeah the reservoir is like 30,000' subsea

Chad, give us your expert thoughts on the tsunami and this rumor. I am sure you have something to add. You always do.

Obama is probably meeting with BP execs to discuss what type of bomb Obama wants placed in the well underneath the surface of the ocean to create said tsunami to wipe out the south for good.
