I really hesitated on whether to post this or not, but decided all sides be aired and people can make up their own minds.
Richard Hoagland was on Coast to Coast AM last night. I did not listen to the show, so all I have is what is posted on their website:
Gulf Disaster/Psychic Mediums - Shows - Coast to Coast AM
In the first half of the program, George Noory was joined by Richard C. Hoagland for a discussion on the potential catastrophic dangers that could result from the accumulation of methane in the Gulf. He pointed to evidence which suggests that a massive bulge of methane is forming beneath the ocean floor. Should it suddenly burst, Hoagland warned, the methane would reduce the buoyancy of the water, causing large ships in the area to "sink like a rock," killing thousands of people instantly. Subsequently, the collapse of the bulge would cause water to fill the hole and create a tsunami that would hit anyone within a mile or two of the Gulf within minutes. In light of this theory, he posited that the lack of action coming from Washington is because they know of this potential danger and are trying to protect people by not filling the Gulf with boats as part of a clean-up effort.
Unfortunately, Hoagland lamented, since BP's mud log data is proprietary and unavailable to independent scientists, there is no way of predicting when such an event may occur. Therefore, he urged C2C listeners to contact Louisiana resident and prominent TV pundit James Carville, in the hopes of creating momentum in the mainstream media for this information to be made public. Beyond that, Hoagland's advice for people in the area was simply "get out of the Gulf region of Mexico because the Feds are not telling you the real danger." For those residents unable or unwilling to leave the region, he advised that the methane in the air carries a "huge cocktail of bizarre gases" that could prove deadly, immediately or over time, if inhaled. As such, he suggested that people in the area acquire gas masks to breathe and an ozone generator to purify the air, "otherwise, you gotta move, you gotta leave, you can't keep breathing this air."
My opinions:
When it comes to the media, things are never as bad as reported, they are never as good, but they are never as bad.
This sounds like a Y2K, 2012 doomsday scenario.
Mr. Hoagland sounds like he is an intelligent man, a scientist, used to be a CBS science consultant, and I do respect his opinion. However, in reading his
The Enterprise Mission posts and listening to him on podcasts and other shows, it seems to me that he sensationalizes many events and things. To be respectful, I will chalk this up to his way of goading people, scientists, and the government to spend money, explore further, and prove him wrong.
In looking at his website and books, he describes these fantastic archeological sites and ancient advanced technology right there in NASA photographs, which frankly, I don't see.
Lastly, I have heard alot of good interesting and informative shows on Coast to Coast AM. Also, I have heard alot of adults telling ghost stories in the middle of the night.
Just my opinion. This Gulf Disaster is serious, regardless.
