well, there is a pocket of highly flammable gasses under that and a pocket of lava near both. a connection between all three are lava partially connected to gas, and gas partially connected to oil. they have been hiding this from media. so, there is a powder keg.

How long will this plug last?

And don't they have another leak now? Like a valve popped or something?

EDIT: Felis Sapiens - Proof that Iraq didn't have WMD. You need a Gulf and unreliable oil company to have WMD.
