Oil in the keys already????

Scientists analyzing video of the oil gushing from the seabed have pegged the spill's volume at about 70,000 barrels (2.9 million gallons/11 million liters) per day.

The Russians would have probably set off a nuke in the seabed next to this thing a few days after it started and sealed it instantly! Seems a little strange there hasn't been more discussion of that. We did underground nuke tests for years, so there should be plenty of data on how close and how deep it would have to be to melt all the rock around the hole!

This mess is going to start looking really bad once the hurricanes start blowing, and the predictions are for a really big hurricane year. I doubt BP really wants to stop the flow, they're still getting oil out of it. It's all about profit.

Here is a website with daily pictures from the MODIS satalites AQUA and TERRA, not everyday can you see the spill, nix that FLOW, but when they pass by and the sun shines you can get a good view, the 250m is the big picture

Your right about the media, they do blow everything out of proportion, and they also don't tell you everything either. I try to get to the source of information on the web and SEE for my self.

Lets try to keep this a civil conversation with usefull information maybe change the title of the thread or start a new one.
