hi hi   
      
   I've been struggling with trying to model the following hypothetical scenario,   
   but it seems that it is beyond my abilities to figure out.  I'm hoping that   
   someone here might be able to provide an answer or at least point me in the   
   right direction.   
      
   The scenario:   
      
   An object is falling into a black hole.  As the object passes the event   
   horizon, another black hole approaches at relativistic speeds.  For a moment,   
   the object is at L1 between the two black holes, and then the two   
   singularities start moving apart again    
   into a highly elliptical orbit.   
      
   So the question is: is there any hypothetical configuration where the object   
   can thrust away from the singularity, given the changing curvature of space   
   time as the two singularities pass by each other?   
      
   Assuming the mass of the black hole is concentrated in the singularity (no   
   fuzz balls or the like), is it correct that: so long as the two singularities   
   remain outside the event horizon of the other, there will exist world lines in   
   which they break away    
   from each other even if their respective event horizons intersect briefly?   
      
   Thank you for your time and consideration.
