The Gulf Oil Nightmare

[Arct1k]

As a brit i do have to add that the well was owned by BP but the rig, construction and failsafe were all US companies...

I'm sure the drilling followed all standard failsafe measures - In this instance the failsafe didn't do its job...

Its a right frigging mess no doubt but i do believe that they are throwing everything they possibly can at this.

In terms of BP blocking volunteers I thats bull - the cleanup is being paid by BP not managed by BP - All decisions are now approved by the US gov.

Good joke, but what's the punch line?

I can see a collapse happening after a period time for sure, the ocean is pushing down on the oil with extreme pressures, the oil comes out, something has to give.
