gnu,
I read tar balls and after analysis it was determined not to be from this spill.
Underwater plumes 10 miles long, 3 miles wide and 300' thick - YIKES. Add to that they are multi-level and in some cases very near bottom.

It feels like the first half of a disaster movie.

I guess we all need to watch carefully but also not get caught up in the media hype. Anybody read anything on Haiti lately other than human interest stories about prosthetic legs for children? I guess all must be fine there now.
SINS, being facetious.
