Military Called In To Help Oil Spill
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8651624.stm
Private industry is useless. So move over because the big boys are coming in. The government will have to fix what Private industry screwed up. Again!
"Five times as much oil as previously thought could be leaking from the well beneath where a rig exploded and sank last week, US officials said earlier. "
"The slick is 45 miles (72km) by 105 miles (169km) - almost the size of Jamaica - and heading for the US coast."
"A third leak has been discovered, and a fire-fighting expert said the disaster may become the biggest oil spill ever."
"The Exxon Valdez [tanker disaster off Alaska in 1989] is going to pale [into insignificance] in comparison to this as it goes on."
"Some 5,000 barrels (210,000 gallons) a day were now thought to be gushing into the sea 50 miles off Louisiana's coast, said the US Coastguard's Rear Admiral Mary Landry. Yesterday it was 42,000 gallons." That is a big adjustment.
When the rig first sank last week there was no oil leaking. Then it was some leaking. The news keeps getting worse and worse and worse. The only good thing is the rig was far out. When Obama gets his way and the rigs are right off shore everybody better watch out.
Drill baby Drill.
April 24. No oil leaking http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-04-23-deepwater-horizon_N.htm
Amazing how the story keep changing for the worse. From no oil is leaking. To some oil is leaking. To a lot of oil is leaking. You can always assume whatever they are telling you it is even worse. Just wait for it.
