"The only piece of human technology that might address this is a nuclear bomb. I’m not kidding. If they put a nuke down there in the right spot it might seal up the hole. Nothing short of that will work.

If we can’t cap that hole that oil is going to destroy the oceans of the world. It only takes one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to wildlife. Are you starting to get the magnitude of this?"

Oh. My. God.

This is truly frightening.

Calm down people.

MOTOR OIL does not equal CRUDE OIL.

Crude oil, if you'll remember from your textbooks, is just the remains of dead dinosaurs and such from millions of years ago. Or if you want to get all scientific, Crude Oil is simply hydrogen and carbon...Hydrocarbons.
