It's all probably for show anyway. The relief wells have the best chance, but they're not scheduled to be done until Aug. or Sept. at least.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen is saying that a saw has become stuck as it was cutting through a pipe on a busted well, stalling the latest attempt to contain the Gulf oil gusher.
Meanwhile oil has hit Alabama and Mississippi and has been sited off the coast of Florida.
Quote:
Officials confirmed an oil sheen about nine miles from the famous white sands of Florida's Pensacola beach. Crews shored up miles of boom and prepared for the mess to make landfall as early as Wednesday.

Florida would be the fourth state hit. Crude has already been reported along barrier islands in Alabama and Mississippi, and it has impacted some 125 miles of Louisiana coastline.
Exactly. The oil will spew until August or September 2010 into the Gulf. No acoustic trigger required or drilling of relief wells at same time of well, like many other parts of the world.
I am wondering how much sea life has already been killed way down below in the Gulf. The damage that has been done can not be summed up in Dollars. It will be life changing for so many. And the CEO of BP want's his life back
This is such a sad situation, and how long truly before we honestly know the effects, of what has happened. Something of this magnitude, cannot afford to happen again. So much brutual damage has already been done, the sea life, that is so sad.
Here's an interview with one of the workers that was ON the rig. Oilfield Driller
Also this is a blowout of drill pipe, scary stuff. That's 8 inch drill pipe in the air.

I hope it doesn't leak into the aquifer under FL. They've already in the past and present had saltwater getting into freshwater there, oil would be the death of FL...
The marshes and such along the coast in LA are probably done for.
I hope after the spill is finally stopped, BP is driven out of business from the lawsuits. Throw their corporate scum in prison too. I've never seen destruction of an important environment on such a scale.
Out of 3,000+ wells in the Gulf of Mexico mother nature wins one. This formation might yield 100 million barrels. You have to admit, we still need oil. Win some, lose some.
