Earth-shattering news has just come out of Cardiff University.
For the first time ever, geologists are moving to use a drill to penetrate the ocean floor and go from there into the Earth’s mantle. The researchers involved in this momentous project are hoping that the drill will be able to collect samples of the protective matter underlying the planet’s crust and overlaying it’s core and bring them back for further study. While this is certainly an exciting development, the scientists involved are running some very serious risks if they go forward with their plans to drill deep into the Earth.
One of the project’s leaders, Professor Christopher MacLeod, has expressed his desire to use the drill to explore the Moho boundary, a region between crust and the mantle. This area is known for it’s regular seismic activity and is held responsible for triggering numerous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, potentially putting us on the surface at risk.

Thank you science for Armageddon!!
NO!
Americans = always sticking their nose where it don’t belong…….
Yeah i saw that B movie last night too.. tehehe
They will kill alot of people
And what exactly is different about this and a naturally accruing volcano? Just hype!
I swear we are going to be our own murderers…
Oh yea, poke the bear in the eye. IDIOTS!!!!
The Russian already tried this and failed. The materials in the plane are not strong enough to penetrate the mantel. It is all about density. That is why everything here where we exist is not floating in the sky but clouds are. Density and Boancy.
Meh. “Global warming” all over again. Bore me some more.
