without doubt the event of magma being accessed by the collapse of the sea floor off the gulf of mexico would cause a reaction by such heat hitting such dense pressured extreme cold waters. if such an event takes place, it is not the reaction in physics and the sub oceanic explosive wave resulting from the water displacement, but the potential of the plate cracking along the fault line due to the hot and cold reaction. this gulf was once an impact area for a meteorite which changed the face of the earth. it is ironic that the same location may once more be involved with the change to the planet we currently borrow. as far as the comments that this event was a spill through error of man, i tend to think the event was an inevitability. with 3,800 or so oil platforms running out into the atlantic on the gulf coastline, it was only an amount of time before the sensation seeking capitalists drilled deep, and this is the result. it may of course have been preplanned to create such an event, but then you have to ask who would benefit from such an action, and for that you need to follow the money. i guess some guy or gal thought it would be great to access a vast oil field deep down. or was it that the guy or gal knew the consequences, and possibly the result of such an endeavour from the very start. needless to say, halliburton who own the rig, and leased it through to bp and their partners anadarko, will no doubt along with other connected parties be somewhere in the mix for the clean up. when this hole decided to close or expand or block up under the cold hitting the hot eventually, i guess we will all be a bit closer to understanding that modern lifestyle has it's price.
