This problem with the oil at over million gallons a day in the gulf of Mexico is a fishing disaster beyond compare...
BP needs to get together with the best minds of the world and fix this fast. Marine wildlife is as risk!

    People act like it has never happened before.

    Good post. I understand the lessons learned from this were the Mexicans keep what the call sombrero rigs on barges for capping these potential disasters...
    Someone said that BP had made a multi million dollar campaign contribution to Obama and were given a exemption for any disaster contingency as a result.

    Now BP is saying a bypass hole will be bored to intersect the existing blow hole. Oh my God! Help us...

    They are called "Relief Wells" and common practice to kill out of control blowouts, but they have to intersect original wellbore deep enough to do any good. Well control is governed by hydrostatic pressure.

    Gary,
    You are so right. With the resources @ BP and the US Gov disposal this is inexcusable. Dont care how complicated it all is. This should have been worked out by the genius B4.
    If we put men on the moon in 69. They can put a lid on this leak!
