Think it will get out of the Gulf? But on a good note when you go swinning you don't have to put on sun screeen.

yes. hopefully all the way to venezuela

I don't think it's headed that way.

it's going all over, the stuff is floating belowthe surface, so booms aren't working all that well

I read where it might get closer to the Keys. That would really be bad.

like normal spills the booms can't contain it. the currents are moving it freely

I watch them pull the booms around and wonder why are they wasting there gas.

they are estimating it may reduce the amout by as much as 20%. the problem with this spill and why it is so devastating is how the oil is coming out. most spills originate on the surface, the oil is already floating on the top of the water. it's easy to coral. this is coming from a mile deep and flowing through multiple layers of currents which disperse it. oil is hanging a many different levels and being moved all around.

They know how to drill the whole but don't know how to plug the hole. Seems you want to know both from the very start. But that's just me...glass of oil anyone?

I'll swing a wild guess at that one.

NO

It's hard to tighten controls and still take money...what;s wrong with that?

We should have been going to the bottom of the ocean rather than going to the moon.
