There’s been criticism about restrictions on news media and other determined observers who aren’t allowed over or near the spill.

Do you think it’s because of the gasses?

Another dumb question. Patience, please. I’m just trying to understand. (Nice to find someone here with actual knowledge, not just opininon.)

I believe that “they” are restricting access to good information, ‘cuz good information is certainly ABSENT in the general media.

Now, since we have already had the spectacle of a reporter swimming in the crude (freaking idiot) I can understand why they don’t want IDIOT reporters overflying the spill area trying to get a story that’ll win a Pullitzer.

I *DO* wish “they” would publish better REAL data and information so we can bypass the ignorant MSM.

Also, as a private pilot, I can understand why they want to restrict the airspace to avoid accidents and mid airs and rescues.
