Imagine it this way.

A drunk driver runs into the utility pole next to your house. The pole is splintered and bent at the point where the car hit it, and the whole pole is leaning at a slight angle. There are three transformers on it which are now useless because the wires broke.

SO..... do you add three more transformers to the top of the pole, and call it good? Would you want that next to your house?

BTW, after the RELIEF WELL pumps cement in to the bottom of the well and seals it, the entire BOP assembly will be removed, and taken to the surface to be torn down to find out why the Shear ram didn’t close all the way.

Then a cap will be placed on the floormount flange (the top of the casing) where the BOP used to be mounted.

“Have you seen that picture of him at a white house ball wearing that ridiculous green suit with the huge $ sign bling hanging off his neck?”

LMAO! That was a Photoshop job (I think/s;)

Air quality is being damaged all over the region. Soon it will spread inland to the Midwest.

Not sure about the atmosphere there, but here air moves around. We call it wind, and observation of a weather map for a week shows air masses moving across the country.

Feds Finally Admitting Admitting Gulf Leak Miles From Original !

How many gigantic ruptures is that now ? Three or four ___ ? Nobody is talking about the huge bubble of methane that is fueling the leak. Nobody from the govt is admitting toxic gases are being spewed out thousands of times beyond safe levels. LOL, LOL ! Looks like a good time to dump BP stock.

Anyone want to buy some oily swamp land?

The Oil Spill Video That Obama Doesn't Want You To See

Shows oil plumes many miles long. Shortly after this video was filmed the Navy issued 'no fly zone' rules.

BP itself announced it was tilted about 12-15 degrees.
