The Gulf of Mexico is 600,000 square miles? That's bigger than Alaska. Let's fervently hope they get the thing plugged before the place becomes a very large petroleum holding tank.

Thanks for the video, LC.

We heard Sylvia Earle on the radio, today. Please read all the way through for her bona fides and her sorrow and concern, as well as her actual experiences as scientist and diver. Well worth it.

Full speed!
My need making the earth bleed."

I just hope that the pressure tests today are successful. If the time comes that the oil is completely shut off, we can turn our attention to cleaning up the water. Short term,that in itself is an almost impossible task.

The various tanker spills were horrible. Ten years or so later things started to get back to "normal".

The scarey thing about this one is that it didn't happen on the surface. There is crap far below the surface being carried by ocean currents and it could end up anywhere for a long time to come. If BP "survives" the "immediate" damage compensation (rumours are afoot that they are preparing for possible bankruptcy), will they be held liable when the crap comes ashore across the pond? or elswhere?
